He's a 2014 draft pick. Think of all the failed 2013 high draft picks that teams have given up on (and subsequently became Flames!). By that logic the Flames should still have been trying to develop Lazar, Rychel, Shinkaruk, Poirier and Klimchuk too...

Bennett is younger than Mangiapane who we are currently developing by playing him in situations where he can succeed.
Playing Bennett with Jankowski and Reider is not doing him any favours.
