I totally agree, and like I said earlier am also very optimistic about Gaudreau's future. My response was to quell the notion that those who selected Bennett as the top prospect in the organisation did so without much thought.
In the end, I think both players are very close in terms of what they mean to the Calgary Flames and the future of the team. The Flames are extremely fortunate that both Bennett and Gaudreau are part of the organisation, and both are perhaps rightly classified as the Flames best pair of prospects.
