Bennett knows he cannot afford to miss training camp this year. Guys like Jankowski, Lazar, Poirier and Foo are all chomping at the bit to be given a shot. If Bennett misses camp and one of these guys steps up, his negotiating power with the Flames only erodes further. And Bennett knows this. He may not get the deal he wants, but will get the deal he deserves.
