Bennett
I'm fairly certain that I will get crushed on here about this subject because 93 is such a polarizing player for the Flames, but here goes. I firmly believe that Sam has been so completely mismanaged by the organization, his first year he was a dynamo, hard on pucks, hard to play against, driving to the net, I actually believed he was on a trajectory to supplant Monahan. In his second year the organization started this trend of stapling him to old, aging, slower vets, and so began his decline, I think Bennett and Dube should be considered a pair, they feed well off each other, they both have speed and tenacity, it was proven last year in the regular season when Ryan went down and 93 filled in at center for a handful of games. Bennett doesn't have chemistry with Lucic, the playoff line success was because 29 and 93 work well together. Just my thoughts, let the crushing begin.
