Bennett wouldn't be traded by the Flames, because anything would have to be a significant overpayment on the part of the other team based on potential alone. He has the potential to be a 70-80 point forward who is able to pester the opposition. The risk though is whether he has the frame to do so and avoid injury as in some ways he reminds me a bit of a better Gilbert Brule, a player who was a physical player in juniors but unable to transfer that to the bigger pro game. Personally from what I have seen of Bennett there is no way he should be traded as his potential dwarfs any possible return and would be the type of trade to bite a general manager in the ass in a few years time.
