I feel Sven is a classic case of lost shine with new toys. Everyone wants to crown Bennett because hes the new shiny toy yet Sven was drafted 7 spots later than Sam and showed tremendous skill in jr and the ability to compete in the NHL and AHL, kid is still 21 and has a never quit attitude and will work hard to get back to the NHL. I think he impresses people this camp and makes the team.
Its a tough debate because they are at different stages of their careers but i still take Sven who has shown me more at a professional level. I agree that Bennett probably has a higher ceiling its all how you view this poll. As of now i believe that Sven is the more promising prospect but that also includes 3 years of development. I have no doubt that Bennett should and will be better in the long run but we are talking prospects right now and the way i interpret that is who will have the biggest impact on the Calgary Flames soonest, to me that is Sven
