It really is. I can't recall the last Flames Centremen with Bennett's combination of skill and speed, in addition to having a strong 2-way game.
He fits the prototype of exactly what they're trying to build in Calgary. Purely offensive prospects (Baertschi) have been mandated to round out their game in the AHL before joining the big club. It's nice to have a young player who's apparently already built that element into his game.
