Bennet has been one of the only guys I have enjoyed watching this series from the flames offensive group. The one knock is that he can sometimes try to do it all on his own on the rush but putting him with Johny and Mony who have shown that they aren't able to do anything on their own could really pay off. You also get some serious sandpaper to go with 2 guys that seem hesitant to retrieve a puck in the corner and best of all, it is almost a sure thing that there will be some post whistle scrums on any line with Bennet. Forcing Johny and Mony to engage in the game a bit more is something I also see helping elevate their game.
My biggest fear is that Smith is unable to continue playing Vezina goalie like and the flames on their "a" game with an average smith is like a 65% chance win. Playoff Smith and the flames on their "a" game should be a 95% win against a team like the avs!!
