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

Who did I suggest trading Bennett for? I simply said I think they would ask for Bennett and later compared What Nino is to the type of player we hope Bennett will become. Perhaps bone up on your reading skills. But honestly, trading Bennett for a player a whole 3 years older that could be signed for 7 years though there prime, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
