From what I can tell a player has to be on the teams active roster for 40 games to accrue a season. So Bennett was only on the Flames active roster for around 15 games and played 12. He wasnt on the active roster out of training camp due to his injury. So although it used a year of his contract it I don't think it got him a year closer to Group 3 Unrestricted free agency.
