One of the biggest reasons to why this team hasn’t been pushed towards elite status in my opinion is the lack of progression of Sam Bennett. This team is lacking consistent secondary scoring from everyone not named Tkachuk and Bennett was pegged as a guy who would be able to get 50 plus points sooner rather than later. Bennett was chosen as the no.4 pick in a draft where some great players were drafted after him who have already gone on to become stars in the league, the Flames got very lucky with Tkachuk but I have believed for some time now that Bennett could be a big miss. This team very much needs Bennett to start progressing into a consistent scorer or find someone else who can provide the offense he was supposed to be producing at this stage of his career. It’s year 4 with Bennett and he’s regressed every year. Very worrying in my opinion
