Proposal: Sam Bennett for a young struggling high pedigree RHS center/winger

[Volica]

Just a side note, more or less since posting this thread; Sam Bennett has looked like the guy Calgary was expecting. He's creating 3-5 scoring chances a night. Last night he had a nice PP goal; and did a ton of work for Chiasson's marker.

Who knew it; you take Brouwer away from him, give him a worker (Chiasson) and the guy's flying.

Nothing to see, or worry about here... the guys going to be a core piece for Calgary for the next 10-15 years.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Bennett is going to be a stud. And these proposals will look as silly as people who wanted to trade Dougie at the start of this year.

 

[DJJones]

How does anyone give you any credibility to talk about the Flames when you're a Flames fan and you don't even know that Monahan is left handed. So sad.

Especially when you follow it up with that kind of a proposal.

Ya I would have bet money that Monahan is a righty. Not sure where I got that from now haha.

Our top 6 guys are all left handed. It's ridiculous.

If Sanehim becomes a top pairing D while Andersson is a #5/PP specialist that's a great trade for Calgary.

 

[Kritty]

whaaat?

Isn't PLD draft exampt? I'm pretty sure he's worth more than Bennett. I'm also pretty sure Murray > Kylington, even with all the injury stuff.

Wait, wait. So a player just drafted that has zero games of NHL experience, was taken higher than most people think he should have been, has concerns around foot speed and top end potential is worth more than a 20 year old who was drafted essentially at the same spot but who is viewed as having far more upside, with 2 full seasons in the NHL and a playoff run? That's a new one to me.

At this point Murray has more value but I'd like to see Kylington for a couple years before making any comparisons. I think his skill set could make him the better player.

Huh? What? Again, you're making yourself out to be quite up on the Flames and their player but yet Monahan has been with the team for 4 seasons now and you didn't know he was a lefty? All you had to do was look up one website or watch one single shift and you would know it.

Funny, you've done exactly the same thing again. Made a very odd, credit destroying comment and followed it up with another. The fact that you see Andersson as a #5/PP only guys speaks to what you know of him. He's got all the tools to be a quality 2nd pairing guy, possibly more. I would argue that Sanheim, despite the 1st round pedigree, is more or less on par in terms of his skillset and potential upside.

I'd rather do Hanifin and Lindholm if we're giving up Gaudreau and Andersson just saying.

Or I'm not comfortable projecting a 2nd round prospect with possible work ethic problems and who hasn't played an NHL game as locked in at our number four spot going forward.

I like Andersson but sanheim is a better prospect and his style suits Brodie better.

So calm down and stop sounding like a dick

if Bennet has a poor playoffs, I wonder if Trelevin offers him to Las Vegas in exchange for his pick of the guys exposed in the expansion draft?

He could fill a significant hole with some of the guys the experts feel will be available.

Gross, or we could just offer that team a 3rd and get whoever is exposed.

It's unlikely he'll have a great playoffs, playing where he is. Not many 3rd liners do.

I think Bennett's going to be a really good player. I'm just not sure where he fits on the Flames. They have a logjam at C and LW.

You never know who will step up during playoffs. Who would have thought Ferland would have the impact he did against Vancouver. There's always someone who surprises.

So in order for Vegas to not take Lazar, Brouwer or Ferland, we'd give up Sam Bennett.


What in the ****.

 

[Mr Sakich]

The idea is that once the team lists are given to Las vegas, they will make every player available to teams willing to give up young prospexts.

An example is if the ducks make vatanen availble, the flames could offer bennet for him. Vegas might prefer bennet over a guy who is Ufa in a year or two,

I love Vatanen and all, but I'd rather have Bennett than Vatanen.

That's not what he means. He means guys that other teams expose. For example Anaheim at this point without any trades (and assuming they buyout Bieksa) will have to expose one of Manson, Rackell or Silfverberg. The Isles will have to expose at least 2 of Hickey, De Haan or Pulock and someone like Strome could be left unprotected as well. Penguin fans seem to think that Maatta could be exposed. The Caps will have to expose Grubauer.... etc.

We could potentially move Bennett for our pick of those players. Depending who is available and what McPhee asks, this could end up being a very good idea.

I'd gladly trade Bennett for Rakell or Silfverberg. I'd also do Manson and Grubauer for Bennett.

go away your drunk

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

go away your drunk

Hohohohoho, every GM in the league except for those who are desperate for a center and are abundant in wingers would rather have Rakell or Silf over Bennett. Manson and Grubauer in pure value favours LV more, but it solves our needs more especially with Bennett's unknown factors. Rakell and Silf also fit our needs far more.

 

[Johnnybegood13]

Hahaha what a thread, there literary isn't a young struggling player in the league I would trade Bennett for, this kid is gold and has a heart of a lion, he lost a year of development because of injury and he's still only 20 years old.

If anything his season is the best thing for the Flames, they can afford to keep him.

 

[McSuper]

I'd rather move Bennett as part of a package for a proven upgrade, not another struggling prospect.

I like the Flames and the Oilers ....Oilers first .

I like Bennett . Not saying I would do it but wingers are easier to sign or trade for . So maybe something like the Flames 1st + Bennett + for Puljujarvi . Again not sure I would do the deal .

Maroon McDavid Draisaitl
Lucic Bennett Eberle

Trade RNH for a 2nd pairing RHD

Again the Oiler fan in me would want a big add (Oliver Kylington ) but the Flames fan in me would pass if the add is much of anything


Again just spitballing . As I don't know if the above mention line is better then and futures don't help us today . They only help to stay competitive longer

Maroon McDavid Puljujarvi
Lucic Draisaitl Eberle

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Probably the only guys I'd consider moving Bennett for would be MacKinnon or Tavares. Rainier, I'm sorry bud but your relentless attempts to move him are becoming a little much.

What's intriguing about Bennett is this. He's 6'2, has excellent speed, has really slick hands, and also he's a very gritty player, he hits anyone, competes hard, will go into the corners, drives to the net fearlessly, he gets pims because he plays on the line and he'll drop the mitts. Also, he's played on the PK and has very good defensive awareness. He also has good versatility and can be used on the wing.

Now I have no idea what his ceiling is at this point but it's high. He's a rare player that possesses high end skill and grit, you just don't trade a player like that unless you're getting a absolute homerun of a deal.

Also the largest area Bennett has struggled this season is production. If you watch him play with and away from the puck, his game has showed lots of progression. Thankfully the Flames know what kind of player he is, Treliving had said multiple times he's a special player so he's not going anywhere. I often compare this season of his to Drouin's last season, and look how well he's played this season. It's hard to carry a line as a C at the age of 20, Bennett is going to be a fine and an excellent player for us.

You forgot he has fine vision and can fire off an excellent stretch pass.

Yea Oilers dont touch this. Not sure you understand quite how good of a prospect Pulju is. Won WJC MVP in his draft season, and is posting terrific numbers as an 18 yo in the AHL. Also RW is an organizational need, especially big fast ones.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Probably the only guys I'd consider moving Bennett for would be MacKinnon or Tavares.

Holy ****.

The guy has 26 points- count 'em. 26. He's not worth anything close to Tavares or MacKinnon, nor about 30 other players.

Also the largest area Bennett has struggled this season is production.

The only guy I'd move Nurse for is Karlsson or Burns. The largest area he struggles in his production.

See how stupid that sounds? That's you right now.

Okay I'm going to start with this offer, Flames go no where near this Bennett + 1st for Pulji? and you'd want another plus? Ffs Bennett has been becoming a complete player, I'm pretty sure in the whole 31 gm's in the NHL, Centers are worth more than Wingers, Bennett had an excellent playoff run, and the whole year before the playoffs he was rehabbing, then he played pretty well last year, this year his production went down but his all around game has gotten better, he's also playing on the 3rd or 4th line all year, so yeah right Flames go no where near that.

Holy ****.

Okay bud, he's as bad as the Oilers fans(you and Mc) Bennett isn't worth those players, but you talk about points like that's all hockey is about? Lol Bennett has been improving his all around game, he's becoming like Backlund but I believe he'll be getting some points soon, he was better last year in points but not as good in his all around game, he's improved in his all around game therefore his points go down, he needs to put it all together, he could become Kopitar/Bergy in a few years, and honestly I think the Flames can sign him to like a 3-5 year 2-4 m contract and we'd be able to keep our core together
