I agree, except "need" could be necessitated by a lack of quality on the current team or poor results. For example, lets say the Flames lose today, and then lose another two or three...

I think Bennett has been ok, certainly no reason to give up on him. On the other hand Versteeg and Ferland have clearly been below par and can be improved on. If their performance continues to be unimpressive, it has a similar impact to an injury and I believe management will make a move to Jankowski and move Bennett to the wing.
