For those that want to trade Bennett you will regret it. Exactly how many home talents do we run out the door because someone else’s project with poorer numbers is ready to break out as far as posters are concerned?

In a league where 18-19 years old are coming in and playing well, yes a 23 year old who has shown zero progress over last 4-5 years won't be a hot commodity.
What other "home talents" have the Flames run out in recent years? St.Louis? sure more than 20 years ago. Giguere? Kipper cancels him out, if theres Giguere theres no Kipper so theres a case of someone else's project with poor numbers became one of the greatest Flames.
More often than not the Flames hold on to their depreciating assets till it's too late, Bennett will join a long list, along with Giordano, Backlund, Gaudreau.
