It's funny to go back and read the first 30-40 pages of this thread.
Pretty much consensus that the Flames got a good return for Bennett.

I'm still sad about this though.

Well done Treliving. Great, great trade.
The upside is I get to still cheer for him on the Panthers and watch him blossom in the playoffs again! I know coach Q will enjoy his style, as long as he keeps the penalties at a minimum.
I sincerely hope this is their year to go on a run.

Decent day for Tre.

FLA definitely paid specifically for playoff Benny as they have post season aspirations.

Then Bennett started hot in Florida and all the complaints started.
And it's fair to complain about how he was leveraged in his time in Calgary, but really it's funny because without the benefit of hindsight the resounding thought was it was a good deal for Calgary.
