Assets: Moves the puck well and is an even better skater--he's fast and agile. Has intriguing offensive upside. Can run the power play for many years to come.
Flaws: Needs to get physically stronger in order to win more battles at the NHL level. Also needs to focus and concentrate more when he's in the game.
Career Potential: Offensive defenseman with upside.
Had to be the best all around game of the season. In any case, just a great showcase that the future is really bright. Monahan, Gaudreau and Bennet all looked great tonight. Regardless of what has happened thus far this season, when these guys all start entering their prime, the Flames will be a scary team.

#Flames coach Bob Hartley, on Sam Bennett: "Bennie is the jack-in-the-box that's bouncing all over the place and skating like a devil."
Exactly what I was thinking.
