Sam Bennett - most needed change of scenery ever or hot streak?

[Cricket Green]

From the way GM/Coach Rowe scapegoated Smith a couple of times that season, I wouldn’t be surprised if Smith told them all to kiss his ass, & please trade me at his exit meeting.

Florida's best player in the 2016 series vs the Isles and arguably Vegas best player during their Finals run. He seems to have fallen off a cliff though. Hope he bounces back.

Please do not remind me of the Mike Rowe era at this time.

well the panthers are a good hockey team. flamers definitely aren't

 

[centipede2233]

I think there’s some Canadian GM’s that should be fired, benning, treliving and bergevin are on borrowed time, shanahan and dubas not too far behind

Good for Bennett. I've always pulled for him for some reason, despite not watching much Flames hockey.

Man, the flames could really use an offensive 2 way center on a cheap cap hit like Sam Bennett......

...To plug their fourth line lol. I hope for Flames fans sake new MGMT comes to the rescue asap. His success should have them all burning on the hot seat right now behind the scenes.

Only Monahan uber fans wanted him off the team

 

[needforspeed]

Can't wait to see playoff Bennett

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Based on some of these comments, you’d think the Flames made him play with a piano strapped to his back.

Good for him and Panthers that he’s playing well and producing but Bennet is not this great player that Calgary let get away or will regret not having long term.

Yeah, in joy. All sane Flames fans recognized how awfully the team was developing Bennett and are happy to see him succeed. Plus, the better he does, the more likely the current management in Calgary gets fired.

 

[centipede2233]

I would assume brad treliving has taken a keen interest in Florida games

Most flames fans I’ve seen are actually happy for Bennett, If not a bit skeptical of his pace(I doubt he continues to be 1.5 ppg players in the future). But he was well liked by most of our fans and we are happy to see him finally get a chance and succeed. I don’t think many fans are having a melt down about it.

As a flames fan myself, I’d love to see him turn into a 65-75 point center with a lot of grit, who steps it up in the playoffs... that’s the player he was supposed to be. It would look bad on the flames yes, but it would also be a nice story for a well liked player

^will sign as a UFA this coming season with the Oilers!

 

[BWJM]

I'm pumped for him. He went from a miserable time in Calgary, to sunny Florida and a fresh start.
