And Calgary takes the 2nd round pick and never looks back. That is a Lance Bouma level of bad contract for a player that has never done anything. Bennett is a slightly better version of Jake Virtanen. You don't pay players like that $4M a season and have a competitive team. Any GM that makes that offer should have their keys taken away from them and given a box to clean out their office.
