Not that the Flames couldn't use a good complementary player, but we didn't have someone to bring that out in him and it became clear over years that he couldn't do it on his own.

Bennett should have been in our top-six all along.
Gulutzan should have made Bennett - Backlund - Tkachuk the line.
Peters should have made Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett the line.
Ward should have made Lucic - Bennett - Dube the line and then Gaudreau - Bennett - ? after Monahan got injured.
They didn't. They backed veterans and reveled in their own stupidity (and they all earned their dismissals), and now the Flames have traded away a 24/25 year old #2 centreman who is going to have a better season than both Backlund and Monahan.
