That's on him to a large extent. But more so, the fact that hes not quite ready for that responsibility. Not that he wont ever be able to handle it, but there are guys better than him right now.
I like his competitive nature and he wants the puck! That said, perhaps he feels he should be deferred to when skating up the ice. I think there is also a bit of pout to his game but that could be due to him feeling like he deserves more.
And who knows, maybe he would excel given that responsibility. But who does he displace?
I hope im wrong on all accounts and he see's the opportunity before him. To move forward with a young core while being sheltered so he can develop more.
If this does turn into an ugly situation, a request for a trade could certainly happen. But its unlikely that Tre would let this get out of hand.

No. This does not really make much sense. Most indications suggest that this is posturing by the agent, a deal will be in place before camp, and Bennett will remain with the Calgary Flames for the foreseeable future.
