Benning was the director of amateur scouting in Buffalo from 1998-2004. In that timeframe, The Sabres drafted 21 players who played more than 100 games in the NHL including: Stafford, Vanek, MacArthur, Hejda, Ballard, Paille, Wideman, Roy, Pominville, Gaustad, Miller, and Kotalik.

I think he would be a great addition to the Flames management in any capacity.
