And you roll the dice that playoff Bennett shows up. Sorry, but I believe in guys that I am confident in. Bennett is no guarantee. What happens if playoff Benny doesn't materialize and you are stuck with the current Benny? Now you've lost everything. I seriously doubt there is going to be much movement before the playoffs this season, just because of the quarantine requirements, so I doubt the Flames are going to be wasting assets on rentals. If Bennett is the rental, its a waste of an asset. Unless there is another up and comer in the Flames' system that is going to carry the mail and let Bennett's crease crashing payoff again, a la Dillion Dube, I don't see another occurrence of Sam "Electric" Bennett.
