I don't want to jinx it but it feels good to finally trust the Flames drafting after so many years of first rounders not panning out. Even late firsts seem to be shrewd picks in the last few years.
The whole Valimaki thing was just bad timing and luck, I think but a good pick regardless.
Bennett still has the tools but just can't seem to get it all together. He needs to play bigger than he is and that's mostly confidence, I think.
