It's not uncommon for young underachieving high-drafted players to get traded around their 4th season for just that reason. In fact, it's probably more common than the team that drafted him hanging onto him into season 6 or 7.
Let's not pretend what's happening with Bennett is unique. It feels like that to Flames fans, because he's our highest pick ever. But what's happening here isn't that unusual. And it won't be at all surprising if he gets moved.

So, it’s crazy for us to think he will improve. But it’s reasonable to assume General Managers of teams in the National Hockey League will spend an asset on that same dream?
