His grittiness is the reason he would be my pick of the available forwards as that's an element you don't always see in high end prospects. I like the idea of stocking talent in a variety of flavours as opposed to say the Oilers that kept stocking up on the same type of player. The Flames don't have grit in a lot of their top end forward prospects so Bennett would fill that void nicely.
Really if it's just about getting the most skilled guy the Flames may as well draft Nylander because he's probably the most skilled and can play RW which is a position of organizational need.
