Confirmed with Link: Bennett signs ELC

[Lunatik]

Per the Flames app, Flames sign Bennett to an ELC

No word on the dollars, but I think it is safe to assume it is for the rookie max. Which I believe is 925k and up to 3.775 million with bonuses

Nice.

Whenever I hear about our guys signing ELC, I don't get excited, thinking that it's pretty much guaranteed to happen...

...then I think of Tim Erixson. Now I'm all like

 

[Zirakzigil]

Happy that hes signed.

 

[CraigsList]

Lol, someone on CP said that 7/25 is now Sam Bennett day.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Sounds like a fairly meaty contract.

Speaking of which the board still needs to come up with a nick-name for Bennett.

I humbly suggest 'Meat Boy'.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Benny will be the obvious one he gets from his teammates.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

What about Killer?

My reaction to not only the signing but remembering how awesome of a prospect we have.

Not really that surprising since he's the highest draft pick the Flames have ever had.

Going to be a good player for the Flames this season. I bet he'll make the team.

Good for Sam Bennett.

I hope he doesn't make the team thus year, actually. He played LW all last year and should go down for a full year as the all-star center of Kingston. The Flames are a losing team thus year and we need SOMEONE in this organization besides Johnny who knows what winning feels like.

I thought Betsy was agreed upon?

He played Centre all year, and will for the rest of his career IMO.

I think I was mixing up Bennett and Dal Colle. Still Bennett should go down for one more year. He's the youngest guy in the top 10.

Totally agree. I would be very surprised if he sticks past a few early games. He's going to have a great year in Kingston.
