Flames need a big skilled winger like a Marian Hossa type to complement Bennett.

Flames have a lot of quality bottom six guys, but need some more high end skill. Really only Gaudreau, Monahan, and Bennett fall into that category going forward.

Next season, I want to see someone different on the RW with Gaudreau and Monahan and have Hudler with Bennett to mentor him. Long term, they are going to have to replace Hudler and this player will have to play with Bennett.
This is Evgeny Svechnikov.
