A Bennett with more finishing capability could be a tremendous asset for the Flames. Just look at Lindholm — he came from Carolina along with criticism for his weak shot, but before long, he became one of the very best finishers on the Flames.
Calgary doesn't need Bennett to be as productive as Lindholm. They don't even need him to be as productive as Backlund, although it's certainly an attainable goal. But having even a slightly more impactful Bennett in the lineup in conjunction with the more dangerous assets could do wonders in improving the overall firepower of the team, especially taking likely regressions into account from the top players.
The 2nd PP unit sorely lacks a true finisher, and if Bennett can become that player... man, watch out.
