Only fans of the Calgary Flames would see centering Troy Brouwer as an “opportunity”. Only Calgary Flames fans would see playing with James Neal as an “opportunity”. Only Calgary Flames fans would see playing with Mark Jankowski as an “opportunity”.

Bennett and Dube performed well when Derek Ryan was out. Ryan came back, and Bennett was cast aside. Bennett was our best forward in the playoffs last year, and was moved up the line-up to try and help the emotionless players in our top six. When the new season started? It was right back to the bottom of the line-up.

Sam Bennett, if moved, will do significantly better elsewhere because he won’t be playing for a Calgary Flames head coach. Coaches that can’t keep their heads above water, and once they stop coaching here they never get head coaching jobs in the NHL again.

He’s not a superstar, but he’s better than the treatment the Flames have given him.
