Has there ever been a 4th line player more talked about on this site than Sam Bennett? It’s insane how much focus and attention this borderline NHL player gets. Could you imagine if we sat around and talking about Gawdin this much because they aren’t that far off to be perfectly honest. Pages upon pages of Bennett discussion- all because where he was drafted, but people need to ignore where he was drafted because it was wrong and a sunk cost. If the draft were recast today, where would Sam get drafted?
Anyway who cares? It’s not like adding Bennett in tonight “puts us over the edge”. Sam has floated around regular seasons here for what, 5 fataing years or something? How much evidence do people require here that he is a non-factor in the regular season? In fact possible net positive as probably 1 less PK we need to worry about.
And then for this completely irrelevant overrated scrub to go public with a trade request which only hurts the Flames in asset management? Ya no #### he is scratched but who the hell cares? It’s akin to scratching Simon or Lucic, nothing changes.
The only thing that helps the Flames tonight is prayer and hope that Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau and Mark Giordano and Lindholm / Tkachuk decide to put in more than a 40 minute effort so here’s to hoping I guess.
