But I don't care if he's nominated or not. Fact is, he's already a huge part of the team and hopefully continues to get better and the years go by. Such a beast already and when he fills out with another 20 lbs of muscle, he's going to be unstoppable. Even now he's one of the few forward to finishes his checks.
I'm looking forward to Draisatl coming back down to earth, because now suddenly all these ''experts'' in the media (outside Doug Mclean) are proclaiming Draisatl to be better due to his hot start. I think Draisatl is a great player, but I think Sam is just on another level when he peaks.

What. Bennet IS a "big name" rookie.
He was ranked the 1st overall skater by many scouts in 2014. Don't know how you get much bigger than that in a draft class. Need to stop downplaying our highest pick ever just cause he dons a Flames jersey.
But yeah, Dr. Dry will fall down to earth quickly I suspect. He doesn't have all the tools that Bennett possessed IMO, hot start aside.
