I would be pretty happy if things play out this way and it's starting to feel like there's a legitimate chance Bennett may slip to the Flames. Pronman also says it's his understanding that the Flames will take the same "best player available" approach they did with Monahan last year so if either of Reinhart or Bennett fall to this spot they will take him. Says if both Sam's are gone they may take Dal Colle over Draisaitl. Also interesting is when he got to the Coyotes he said it's tough to project their pick because Brad Treliving was a big part of their draft. |
Yeah - although Bennett has been talked more and more about being a top 2 pick by some scouts, what is giving me hope is that a lot of mock drafts and fan polls still seem to have the Flames picking him at 4.
This top 4 is still pretty even but of course with trades things can change quickly.
