Picture this: season on the line, winner gets the final Wild Card spot. Bob Hartley holds a press conference to state that Sam Bennett, 4th overall pick and budding superstar, is going to make his debut vs. the Jets. TSN, SN & all other media outlets run hours of extensive highlights featuring Sam bowling over OHL defensemen & toe-dragging heaps of goals. Winnipeg's coaching staff focuses a huge amount of attention on Sam & how to deal with him, allowing Gaudreau & Monahan to dominate & lead us past the Jets to the playoffs.

Either that or just play him against the Yotes because they're ####.
Now that Ramo is out, my guess is that Flames will dress Bennett as back-up goalie. So they won't have to sit anyone in favor of Bennett and the epic debate of "earning the spot" will be over. Then Bennett will drop his pads and other goalie's equipment on the bench and jump into the action!
