I would too, but I fear that Bennett is too slow with the puck to play with those guys. Lately, Bennett seems to want to overhandle the puck, especially in the offensive zone. And he doesn't have Ferland's shot, so...
I mean, I don't know what the answer is, other than to target another top-six RW, as many people have asserted on this very board. (I still think the Flames need another solid-yet-mobile defensive defenceman as well, but maybe the greater need is the F, given a possible near top-four of Andersson, Kylington, Hanafin and Valimaki...)
