Sven went 2ppg in his draft +1 year and scored 3 in 5 games. Not only that the Flames were starved for a young scoring forward. If anything he had greater expectations than Bennett who missed 90% of his draft +1 year and the Flames has Monahan and Gaudreau at that time so the fans were not as starved for Bennett to be on the team
If Bennett didn’t have year 1 burned off his ELC in the playoffs perhaps the Flames could have handled him differently?
