For instance the player you are suggesting trading Bennett for (Nino) was in the AHL at the same age Sam is today and had 64 games of NHL experience and 3pts to his name. The Islanders traded him for Clutterbuck who was 26 at the time. Hindsight shows that was a brutal trade and the Islanders should have been more patient especially with the organization searching for a winger for Tavares.
I am firmly in the keep Bennett camp as he will only be 21 when next season starts. I love the style he plays so if he pans out to be a first or second line centre the Flames are laughing long term
