I think that Bennett has been plagued by the Flames inability to give him a more clearly defined role. I think Peters was able to this a bit better this past year, and hopefully Bennett can take it to another level. I think there is a spot in the top 6 to be had if he can rediscover the skills he flashed in his rookie season.

It's between the ears for Bennett, does he want to be a third line guy who runs around hitting everything like Cal Clutterbuck, or can he find a way to be that agitating physical type, but add some skill into the mix and be something more.

I think for that reason another 2 year deal is what him and the Flames should do. Yes it would be great to rope him in and get him on a value deal for term. But if he was to find that scoring form and be a 25 goal and 60 point guy who can play that gritty style...you can live with paying a 26 year old version of that player a few more dollars on term with some certainty to fall back on.
