Don't know what to say (for the first time in my life). Bennett IS the player the flames organization has dreamed about since they lost Nieuwendyk. The kind of center we prayed for iginla in his prime!
The benefit (or luxury) of being able to send him back to junior, if necessary, because of Monahan being NHL ready, and because other prospects (like Gaudreau and Poirer and Reinhart) are already showing signs of being ready. I honestly have to ask if Edmonton drafted the best player available, or the best NHL ready player?
I had almost no interest in Draisaitl. He seems to me as a "Monahan-lite". Size and strength, but something missing. No elite speed, and I assume he will be rushed onto the top 2 lines up north, thus become NO GOOD.
What a difference it makes when your management is trying to win a cup, and not trying to make themselves look good, by telling people how they "know a thing about winning"!
