Pearson is 26 and during his last three full seasons, he's scored 36, 44 and 40 points. I don't think Sam Bennett will ever be a top 6 guy, but imagine how much worse the discussion would be around this forum if he was making 3.5M a season like Pearson is, vs. the 1.95M he is today? Pearson might be a good argument for why the Flames need to be careful this offseason if they decide to keep Bennett in Calgary with a new contract.
