Funny how the draft works sometimes.
Tre has built a solid team no doubt, but it'd be a juggernaut had they not completely botched the 2014 draft. Bennett I can live with, he was pretty much a lock to go top 4 and we had the 4th pick. It's the crap they wasted the 2nd round picks on that really pisses me off. Never mind NHLers, they didn't even draft guys who could hack it in the AHL with 2nd round picks. Just terrible. Hopefully whiffs like that continue to become less and less common.

Sigh - every year it's the same old s--t with Bennett except for his first year when he did look very promising. Every year the ceiling is limitless but then the fog rolls in and remains for the whole season. The potential is there but you don't get to see any of it and you're left speculating. He was young breaking into the Flames lineup and is still considered young even to this date. Maybe in 10 years time, he'll still be the youngest, highest potential, highest skilled truculent, highest drafted Flames that'll ever be in a lot of peoples eyes.
However, I do give him props in showing up in the playoffs when most of the team got shell-shocked in their own zone.
