The NHL/CHL agreement requires any player who was drafted from a CHL team who will not celebrate his 20th birthday before the end of the calendar year in which the season started to be returned to his CHL club for the remainder of its season before he can be assigned to the AHL.

Bennett turns 20 in 2016, so he must be returned to the CHL this season if the Flames decide to demote him.
