We lack finish
We lack elite centers
Bennett doesn’t check any of those boxes long term.
With that said I’d move out some contracts to make it work.
Would you move on from Coleman or Sharky to make room? How about Backlund?
We don’t necessarily need to move contracts now, but we would have some significant bottom 6 bloat.
I’m going to inquire on this one, I haven’t heard anything but I know both Jarome and Conny were pretty high on Bennett before he was traded.

Bennett, while he brings intangibles, isn't that good possession wise.
He isn't bad, but it's not like he's taking on the heavies either and gets pretty cushy zone starts.
I don't see a need for him on the Flames.
