So what's out center depth look like now in terms of young players?
Monahan
Bennett
Backlund
Reinhart
Granlund
Knight
Arnold
Jankowski
Not too shabby at all. That's some legitimate youthful depth right there.
Cant find a center for a decade and now we have two high level prospects. I am just thrilled. For me the best part is it takes the pressure of Backlund, Granlund, Jankowski, etc to be the saviour. With Monahan and Bennett, hopefully hitting their ceiling, the rest would just be gravy. Great teams are built up the middle, and in only a couple years we went from the bottom to, at the very least, having a shot at the upper echelon of the league.
Well I criticized him on not being able to do a pullup, and I still think it was ridiculous, and apparently he took it seriously too since he apparently did a bunch of TSN recently IIRC.
Or he had a problem that wasn't disclosed.
Either way, seems like a character guy(something I was worried about as well), and great that he wanted to come to Calgary.
Whilst I'm genuinely excited about this kid, we have to acknowledge that we are still missing a number of pieces. 2/3 high end prospect Dmen, maybe another goalie in the system, a couple of RWs. At Centre, we are set. At LW, we are set. Now is the time to go and complement Bennett with some more prospects.

If the Flames are smart close to zero. He's still pretty physically immature, best to give him another year in the OHL to fill out his frame some more.
