He plays a hard game and takes a lot of penalties. There isn't any room on the Flames roster right now, and we can find better options for 2C (or hopefully 1C pushing Kadri to 2C)

He's cracked 50 points one time, is turning 29, and about to receive a huge contract.
The Flames need skill and should stay far away from Bennett.
Bennett is the kind of playoff contributor you love when he's on a reasonable contract. When he's getting paid top line money, aging, and not producing, it's a nightmare.
This gives Brouwer or Neal vibes.
