When 960 played the Friedman piece this morning it sounded like Bennett was the young player they wanted to keep in the Hamonic trade.
After going and listening myself that is NOT the case. The Bennett discussion was Cox stating he thinks that Bennett could be the key to the Flames really becoming a top end team. If he pans out Calgary looks stacked going forward. Friedman then went on to say Calgary resisted the temptation to move Sam as they had offers over the weekend. He then said something along the lines that Bennett wouldn't have been totally opposed to a move either but ultimately the Flames decided to keep him and want to see this through.
Thank goodness because I am a huge believer in Bennett.
