How many coaches has Backs seen in his time....5? 6?
Bennet will be fine...

Backlund could end up being a good comparable to Bennett.
I am sure someone will follow up this post and try to distort it to paint me as a Bennett hater, but I think if you are objectively watching his progress as a flame his projection is less than it was on draft day.
I don't see him being good enough to centre a second line and I am not sure he is good enough to be a top line winger.
Of all of Calgary's young talent I think Bennett is the most expendable and I would be calling teams with other good youngsters to see if they might be interested in a change of scenery.
