If it came down to choosing either Ferland or Bennett on this team does the majority really feel like Ferland is the better player? They have played a similar amount of games and had very similar production.
I think it would be a huge mistake to give up on Bennett via trade how they were discussing on Sportsnet.

Bennett’s been bad for a while not just this year. Zero points this year and long stretches last season. Long leash at center which was failure and will force Flames to pay up for Backlund. At wing he still has no points.
Not blind hate but reality backed by stats. Long leash from draft position and not living up to it. Right pick at time and this happens.
No trade value so really no choice on giving up yet. Maybe he can be a ok 3rd line winger but ceiling of being Flames highest pick ever and franchise center seems unlikely.
