I have always felt like Bennett has such potential. I still feel that way. I do think he will be wanted, and I think teams will take a chance on him because of what he brings in the playoffs. He could fetch a second round pick, if the flames play hard ball and wait for the highest bidder. Either way, if you ask for a trade, the team will trade you, it just takes time.
I will miss Bennett in the playoffs for his energy, and big hits.
I will not miss Bennett in any other faucet, as he is a defensive liability, takes stupid penalties consistently, and shows up for 10 percent of the games. He is not a pure goal scorer, or a playmaker. He is a high end 3rd and 4th line player.
Hopefully his new team can get more out of him than the Flames could.
