Bennett is an amazing talent and I can't wait to see him play.
But when he tells Conroy that he'd skate out to challenge the Dman on a lost draw and let his assignment go, and utilize a "swarm" defence it seems that he has some work to do.
I was a bit surprised to read that as I thought through his weeks of practice he would have learned the Flames systems - but maybe he picked up some bad habits back in junior.
I have no doubt that Hartley will make the right call here though. If he's ready, and the best option to help the team win he'll be in the lineup.
