Hindsight shows the Flames should have worked with Bennett after the Sutter hire and gone from there. He likely would have signed his QO to be a UFA next year but the Flames could have turned things around with Sam by now. No doubt he would have been given a long look at the #2C spot here seeing how disappointing Monahan, Backlund and Dube have been.
The gutsy move would have been exposing Monahan to Seattle which would have made their choice of he or Gio more difficult. Flames would lose a big cap hit either way and still have Bennett
