Let’s be honest - the Flames aren’t exactly swimming in high quality top-6 forwards and they aren’t using Bennett in the top 6. In fact he’s one of their least-used forwards even when he dresses.

At this point I think it’s fair to say he is what he is - an energy guy you can deploy in the bottom 6 without too much trouble (unless he’s taking dumb penalties...).

On the plus side he’s still better than Dal Colle who was taken immediately after Bennett.
