I love it when sarcasm is so far over someone's head, it's sub-orbital.

playoff games count towards the 9 games. so if he is sent to the nhl and the flames make the playoffs chances are he burns the first year.

5 games in the final games of the season, four games in the ploffs when the ccanucks will dmolish us.

Still not ten.

I thought I heard that as long as Kingstons season (or a players Jr team for example) is over, that any pro games played has no factor on their ELC. So as long as Kingstons season is over, Bennett could play in every game until we win the Stanley Cup and won't end up burning a year on his ELC. I could be wrong, but I think I'm right.

I've never heard that before, but that would be awesome!

Haven't heard of it myself, but it does make sense in a way, since his "default" team in his league is done playing.

Heard something on the radio to that effect.

He could play AHL without it burning a year off his ELC, but NHL games would count.

Actually that does sound correct from what they were saying. Nice!

Probably makes sense to have him play in the AHL then.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Probably makes sense to have him play in the AHL then.

I'd think of the opposite. Put him in NHL as an offensive catalyst. ADK might not playoffs, no point wasting time.

 

[Anglesmith]

What are the odds there will be more than 9 games left in our season, anyway?

There is 20-32 games left .

Considering our secondary scoring has been atrocious, I think Bennett can fix that.

 

[CraigsList]

I think management should call him up and see how he does against the Oilers and Coyotes. If he plays 9 out of the 4 regular season games and also the first playoff series, Treliving should be fine burning a year of the ELC if we make it to the second round. Bennett seems like a player we need to inject some energy into our lineup.

 

[Calculon]

Doesn't seem like the Burliving would put that much pressure on a rookie right off the bat.

You can put a rookie in a game without it being a case of putting pressure on him. I mean really, players have done this before. He'd probably relish the challenge. In the end it's just hockey.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

All we really need is for Sam to help out Backlund and Shore on the secondary PP Unit. It's been completely useless lately.

 

[tmurfin]

Throw him out there in place of Colborne. Please!! He may be able to provide a little spark and get the team riled up again.. Not sure if it'll happen but I wouldn't be opposed to him playing the Oil/Yotes games just to see how he does.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Granlund's run out of steam, send him down to ADK and put Bennett in his place. Colborne at least is something of a physical presence even if he can't get anything done.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I do think he can handle it. He's bigger and stronger from when he was drafted, and he's not your average prospect. I really do believe that he thinks the game at a similar level as Gaudreau, I think his speed would allow him to play in the NHL right now.

[BVicious]

I'd give him games if he earns it in practice.

Same as when he came off injury. Shouldn't just get a spot, but if he earns it, then yes...play him.

I honestly have never seem someone as driven as Sam.
