Starting with Bennett, the fourth overall selection at this year’s draft . . . .
“I love his determination, I love his body language,” Hartley said of the 18-year-old, who’ll be wearing No. 63 in camp. “You look at him and you know that he’s confident. The body language that you put in the game or you put in the dressing room around your teammates, in the gym . . . it sends a message. It sends a message to your teammates, it sends a message to the other team. I’m sure that this guy will make a great push at training camp.”
As for Gaudreau, No. 53 . . . .
“I’ve spent quite a bit of time with Johnny in the past months,” said Hartley. “No. 1, he’s a great human being. I believe that great people make great teams. It’s his hockey smarts with the puck. His knowledge of the game, his vision with the puck, his ability to create space for himself while giving unbelievable passes. It seems that he has that knack to make simple plays that other players just can’t do.
“He’s going to fight (questions about) his size. I’m sure he started this when he was seven, eight years old. He’s heard many times that he was way too small and he couldn’t do it . . . and here he is, knocking at the NHL doors. I’m with him. I’m a big fan of Johnny Gaudreau and all of our kids.
“This will probably be one of the most competitive camps in Calgary Flames history. We will have tough decisions. That’s what we like.”
