Bennett and Flames still far apart. Possibility he plays overseas until deal is done
Per dreger
Still a sizable gap in contract talks between the Flames and Sam Bennett. Possibility Bennett heads overseas until a deal in Calgary is done

Is Bennett's agent out of his mind?

Someone needs to remind Bennett that, so far you haven't been very good.
I can see why his agent wants him to get paid, based on what I've seen, this might be his best chance to cash in.

Yeah its clear that there has been some sort of stare down going on throughout this thing.
I highly doubt he goes over seas though, that threat rings hollow when he could get injured playing elsewhere and kiss his earning potential goodbye.
His agent, as i have stated, looks like a guy who has opened a relatively new agency and Sam is his biggest name client by a fair margin. I do wonder if the agent isnt trying to make a name for himself on the back of Bennett...which is horrible to think about but hardly anything new in the agent/client business in any industry.
Bad advice could not only derail Bennetts season, but could have reprecussions throughout his short term career and possibly longer.
Sam has little to no leverage in this negotiation and it appears that he is not aware of that. Staring down Treliving will rarely work out in your favor.

This. If the rumor is true, then Bennett should probably get a new agent.

His agent is bluffing with a 4 9 hand.
Unsuited.

Just wait for Janko to start lighting it up in training camp. His agent won't be able to find a pen fast enough.
Here's to hoping.

If anyone needs a good training camp it's Bennett so if he misses camp like Gaudreau did last season I will be pretty disappointed in both parties for not getting something done.

Both parties will not necessarily be at fault.

Could be playing overseas for a long time if he's going to try and force Trelivings hand...
