Flames All-encompassing Bennett trade discussions thread

Just mentioned by Friedman on Saturday headlines. His source is Bennett's agent Darren Ferris.

I don't think it's a rumour if it's coming directly from the agent.

I guess it makes sense. It really isn't going to work out here for him. A shame.

I love Benny, but he's one of the most frustrating Flames to watch during the regular season.

Unfortunately it's unlikely he holds a tonne of value.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't sell high on him after the playoffs.

He never lived up to expectations offensively. Oh well.

I like this. It's time for both parties to go their separate ways and this should accelerate a move that should have been made already.

He’s obviously not going to progress here. And unfortunately I think he likely does in his next landing spot. But maybe it is time to move on. Just feel like it’s a trade that we will look back on like we lost.

Hate to say it but its time.....maybe Montreal would do Byron for Bennett and some nice cheese and wine in exchange.

Bye bye Sammy.

This makes complete sense.

This organization rewarded their best player in the playoffs by starting him as the 4th line between Nordstrom and Lucic.

Best of luck Benny, I hope he does well elsewhere and I hope the team gets a decent return.

No surprise. He hasn't been given a solid chance but he hasn't exactly made them give him one either. He'd get more ice time on many other teams.

He won't fulfill his draft billing here or anywhere else but he can do better than what he's doing. It just isn't working out here in Calgary.

Interesting. I’ve always been in camp Bennett but it does feel like a change in scenery is needed. Curious to see what he could net in return. Probably a reclamation project.

When was the last time a third line tweener requested a trade? Funny.
