Wait, isn't Bennett and Tkatchuk almost singlehandedly out-muscling the Leafs "high octane" offense more of a good look on the Flames and their scouting/development?
It's a mix of good and bad. We couldn't make it work with these guys but we also made these two (now) playoff monsters who are terrorizing the league's darlings.
I just hate that we never had people with the vision and patience to squeeze the best out of Tkachuk, Bennett and Valimaki and slot them properly (in Tkachuk's case, earlier).
Bennett was worth keeping for his playoff super saiyan mode alone.
