This talk of rewarding fans and rewarding Bennet is kinda goofy. The fans have been rewarded with a far better season than 90 per cent of them could have anticipated. And the real rewards for fans are going to come in 3-5 seasons. Patience. Long-term.
And I'm not sure what management is supposed to be rewarding Bennett for. Being highly-skilled? Being an intense player? What has he done that makes him different from what other prospects have done in the season that would catapult him over them into the lineup? I get that he's the most talented prospect in the system. I just don't see what warrants a special 'reward' from management.

Flames need to look at the current line up and then look at Bennett if he was inserted would they be better....
Offensively 3rd and 4th lines and 2nd Power play are struggling. If Bennett was added would this improve....
That's the only thing they should focus on...
