If Bennett neutralizes McDavid, the rest of the Flames dominate the rest of the Oilers.

Yeah they sure do have a long history. Sleep overs, their fathers are best friends, played together on the most stacked team in the history of the GTA.
I have a feeling Bennett would absolutely maul McDavid. Bennett is a dog. I think it would be really hard for Connor to play against Sam. However I dont think we need to - because Sam is better suited to playing offensive minutes and developing that. Not to mention we need him in an offensive role because we dont have many people who can do what he does.
Brodie + Gio and Backlund + Frolik can do the job perfectly imo. Especially Backlund and Brodie.
