I can't believe the posters on HF that are arguing it is a horrible decision in terms of hockey management. For one nobody knews right now how much this move will cost or save financially. The only thing that is now certain is Bennett is a RFA in 2017 instead of 2018.

i was a supporter of him playing as soon as his OHL season was over. It worked out he got in the lineup one game after we clinched and Hartley likes what he saw. The only way a year was getting burned is if we won a round and good for the Flames they won and Bennett is a key player. Bennett was drafted to be a top player on the Flames for years to come. He will be here long term no matter when his ELC expires
