It Bennett plateaus at a 40 point guy and Tkachuk does the same then we'll probably need to restart the rebuild and will regretting all of those rebuild jokes we made about other teams...

It seems that what people are looking for is the Oilers or Islanders dynasty teams..... NOT going to happen.
There is a salary cap that prevents this. The best teams have 2 maybe 3 guys that will put up 60+ pts.
If Backlund is a 45-50 pt guy then the Flames will be successful with Bennett, Brouwer, Frolik and eventually Tkachuk being 40 pt guys.
Hard to see how and why Bennett will plateau at 40 pts.
