If Sam Bennett says trade me and they trade him to the Ducks(just a example), I see Sam Bennett being a 60-70 point, 2 way centre, tough to play against(like Kesler but better offensively.)

I also see him as a tough 2 way center, in part because the flames have been very patient and letting him learn how to play in all three zones. There is a reason they are keeping him at center and letting him cut his teeth at that position. It isn't an easy position and bares a lot of responsibility. Long term he will be a better and more complete player. In fact I think it shows the how highly the organization thinks of him.
