I do like the fact that he is speedy and has made solid defensive plays, plus he can be a force in games that do end up getting chippy. He won't shy away. I am hoping that the Flames just give him a regular role with decent line mates and see what he ends up doing with it.

With teams playing more games against each other we might just see a bit more of playoff Bennett. Plus, with some quality wingers who can actually convert there will be a bit more offense to his game. As AC mentioned earlier the added depth may have positive trickle down effect allowing stronger and more balanced lines.
