And really counting stats at this point are a weak argument. How many posts has he hit or
scoring chances he’s set up that have been missed are there? Just 3 of those go in and his stats are just fine. Anyway he’s getting good ice time, he’s not making stupid penalties and he’s driving play. I don’t think there is much more you can ask right now and any trade right now would be 1. Selling low and 2. Would almost certainly make the Flames a worse team.

Your last sentence is pure speculation. If the Flames are 'certainly a worse team' without Sam Bennett, they are not a very strong team.
