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

I think there is a vocal Minority that are allot harder on Baertschi than he deserves, and there are still a couple of people who give him allot more credit than he deserves.
Either way I would have been shocked if he came in the top 2, considering we have the best College prospect since Paul Kariya, and we just drafted the highest player in Flames history. I am also sure he will come in third, most people here still know Sven has time to continue developing
