Not a surprise highest 1st rounder in franchise history and not living to expectations. That's tough on the psyche.
Anaheim always loved Bennett.

Wish they would’ve traded him right after the play-in when his value was high!

That would require another team to want to buy high on him too.

Not the first time he's asked for a trade and not the first time Friedman has reported on it. Look forward to Elliotte's time on 960 this week!

I don't even know what we can get for him. A 3rd round pick?

The guy just has zero hockey IQ. Valuable banger to have in the playoffs that we’ll miss, but my god he’s dumb with the puck. Probably won’t net much but the man deserves to try his luck elsewhere.

Bennett for Draisaitl. Edmonton retains 50%. And throw in a 4th

You know what if this forces Treliving to make a big trade then fine.

Seems like that players only meeting got the emotions and feelings out in the open.

90% of Flames fans: "Good. Get rid of him. Guy does nothing out there."

100% of Flames fans come Playoff time: "You think we could still trade 3 first round picks, Pelletier, Valimaki and Gaudreau to get Bennett back???"

Don't blame him.

This guy has done everything he can to get a bit of ice time. Time and time again he has been nailed to the fourth line.

I hope that this isn't true though because I really do like Bennett as a player.

Oh well. Hard not to be a little sad, I was always pulling for him, but it's pretty clear that it wasnt working out.

Probably Jack Roslovic, to be honest.

Love him in playoffs but a bust overall. Flames def got burned on that pick. Might be able to get a third rounder for him?

Coincidence that he's getting PP time tonight?
Maybe trying to get his value up, somehow...

Newsflash Benny and agent: so do the flames but no one will take you for more than a box of tape.

Correction: a box of tape with an equal cap hit, which doesn’t do the flames any good.

No surprise, the guy has never really been given a steady chance to play in the top 6.

I really do wish he can find some sort of consistency and a role in this league even if its not with the Flames. I've always liked him.

What do we think the return could be? I'd love to see a 3rd line character guy coming back.
