To be able to just relax and concentrate on playing his game without the threat of being demoted if he makes a bad play or has an off game, will hopefully make a huge difference for him and just maybe he can finally put it all together. Obviously, he would love for his career to really take off...but I really believe he would also love for it to happen as a Flame.

He is in a pretty fortunate position right now since no other player cemented himself on the top line yet. Bennett, as bad as he can be sometimes is not a step back from Simon or Leivo even when they are at their best.
Wouldn't it be something if he got some confidence and turned his game (and trade wishes) around.
I personally don't think it will happen, but one can wish.
