The flames have their best shot of making the playoffs in years tomorrow. Who knows if the flames will regress next season like all the "smart" hockey minds say. In regards to the Bennett situation, if he is indeed a positive impact for the team then why not burn a year off his ELC this season if it means we have a greater chance at going deep into the playoffs. Who knows? Anything can happen in the playoffs. But if we were to regress next season we would be burning a year off Bennett's ELC in a pointless season. The Flames are so close and what if Bennett is the missing piece to us being a contender this season? I don't want to put high expectations on a young kid, but he seems very driven.
