I really liked 18 year old Sam Bennett. The problem is that I haven’t seen the meaningful development that I desperately want/need from a 4th overall pick. That’s my bias/personal issue because there are plenty of higher picks that never panned out, not just Sam Bennett. And now we have 24 year old Sam Bennett.
I can’t actually answer the question “does he make the Flames better” but Treliving better be selling the crap out of that to suitors. The nice thing about a bidding war is that it sometimes negates a “trade me” request...or should I be unhappy with Treliving that he should have been shopping Bennett all along?
I’d be interested if Bennett was even physically in contact with the other Flames players because I would start the isolation process for Covid travel to the US. Expand the market for such a short season.
