I think if the Flames make the playoffs and Bennett shows up, Treliving needs to pull the trigger on him on or before the next draft to try and get a second round pick if even that. It'll be great if Bennett gets unloaded at the trade deadline, along with Brouwer and Stajan.

Flames made the playoffs in the McDavid/Eichel year and traded the pick for Dougie Hamilton... How exactly were they gonna draft one of them? Not to mention Buffalo and Arizona's absolutely shameless fire sales that year. We never would've kept up with that level of suck.
