Bennett has been the team's best forward for back to back playoffs but where has that got the Flames? The reality is that the only way this team will make any progress towards winning a cup is if players like Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, and Lindholm raise their games. This offseason will be like last in that many hope that Bennett can parlay a strong playoffs into a better regular season but I doubt that's going to happen as he is what he is at this stage of his career. If he can be a piece in a trade that upgrades the top 6 I think you have to seriously consider it as the team's failings have largely been centered around the top 6 simply not producing when it counts.
