I really hope Zucker for Bennett isn't on the table. Sometimes people hear names, and pile on as thinking player X is the next greatest thing. In this case the grass certainly appears to be greener on the other side. Player for player I think Bennett and his unique skillset is what the Flames should be keeping for the future. He's not going to pot many goals but his combination of skills are unique. Agitators who don't take stupid penalties and can skate are really unique in my opinion. Zucker on the second or third line is fine, but not at the cost of Bennett. If Bennett has to go you hope he goes in a package for a higher end player - not a second line player at best.
