IMO durability has been an issue with Bennett and the style he plays. Are the Flames okay missing their #1/2 C for 10-15 games each season? Would fans still be happy with Bennett putting up 40 points, while playing at a 50-55 point pace, especially if he's making more than $7.5M...

Personally, I like Bennett's style, and his play with Huberdeau was dynamite.That said, I don't see him as being the guy that will generate offense when we need a goal, but a complimentary piece. I also don't see where Frost and Zary slot, or how Bennett fits this team's window. That's why I would rather the Flames went after the likes of Giroux or Duchene as a 2-3 year overpaid stopgap at C/RW.
