Wait doesn't Bennett have one more year left on his etc? He can't leave rn so he has a whole year to work out a deal. If he can put up the numbers in sure flames management would happily sign him long term.
Negatory. His ELC is finished.

What could he possibly be asking for?
He should sign a 1 year deal and prove he deserves a long term contract. Missing training camp won't help one bit. He should just focus on having the best season he can.
I still don't see it happening. Just a ploy by his agent to get more $ I'm sure.
Does Sam Bennett possess "intangibles" that make him more valuable than his 26 point season shows?
I guess Bennett and his agent are convinced they can squeeze more $$$ and term from Calgary. I see some potential in Bennett but I don't see someone who has "arrived" in the NHL. As an Oiler fan I'd love to see the Flames overpay this kid. As a hockey fan I think Treliving should play hardball and stick with a bridge contract offer.
Bennett absence, if he plays overseas, won't significantly affect Calgary this season. They can find a cheaper option to play his role while contracts talks drag on.
Well, he sees the guy drafted in front of him making 8.5/year and the Flames see him scoring 26 pts. Not exactly a shock that they have a different idea of fair value.

I'd be fine slotting Jankowski on the 3rd line if Bennett isn't signed.
