Confirmed with Link: Sam Bennett and 6th (2022) traded to Florida for 2nd (2022) and Emil Heineman

If Bennett finds success post-Calgary and becomes the player he was projected to be or even better, it wouldn't be the first time.

Wouldn't even be the first time that the Flames gave up on a good player that went on to have an all-star career with a team based in Florida.

If he put up 90+ points playing with a Russian, he also wouldn't be the first former Flame since Marc Savard did that with Kovalchuk.

Hockey is famous for lines consisting of two players only.

The only Russian winger they have is Gusev, and it'd be a shame if they took Duclair off that line, the chemistry is 10/10

Well congrats on taking a light hearted post so f***ing literally. I should be an elcor and post my emotional tone with each post so pendants like you understand the joking nature of a post.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Honestly I’m really happy for Sam. His game is so reliant on confidence and Barkov will take the hardest matchups there so he’s in such a good position to succeed considering he’s playing with Huberdeau.

Bennett should have been playing with Johnny here for a long time, he’s literally the C Gaudreau needs and we traded him away. But he was never going to be that player here so I’m happy for Sam.

There must have been some kind of dampening field on his game here. He wouldnae buried that pass last night if it was from a Flames player.

 

[User1996]

Can’t wait until this all comes crashing down and we can collectively laugh at everyone overreacting to two games...

Still wish the best for Sam, but the takes here make me laugh

The Flames dressing room is engulfed in a palpable aura of Sadness.

its actually 6 games. Time will tell if a change in teams was what was needed but Sam is on old school player and Sutter/Quenville are old school coaches, as a fan of Bennett there were only like 3 teams I thought he could succeed with if traded. The Islanders, Panthers and Blue Jackets all with old school coaches.
He has looked more comfortable on the ice ever since Sutter came in and stopped using a line blender as a coaching tool.

Time will tell, but he also play what, 25 games under Sutter prior to the 4 he actually produced and hadn’t looked any better?

Bennett playing unreal hockey for a few games? We’ve never seen that before as Flames fans.

good on Sam, if he keeps this up, he’s going to get absolutely paid this summer.

The funny thing is I think he has a great playoffs and ends up signing like long term for 3 to 3.5 M AAV with Florida and then puts it together.

he's never gotten that pass from a Flames player

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Sam has had two good games. Did anyone expect different? He probably has a good playoffs too. Next regular season he will struggle and get demoted when he loses his confidence. It’s Sam Bennett lol

 

[TheHudlinator]

I mean sure but there are also a thousand passes that he handled like a live grenade. I'm cheering for Bennett but the real question isn't will he do well immediately when the pressure is on (which is has always done) but can he keep this play up for a full season.

I really do hope this is a wake up call for him, he could be a very impactful player if he wants to be.

Another Bennett goal

I feel like I haven't done enough hallucinogens to understand half the posts in here because of a whole 3 points.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

He’s going to have more goals than Monahan by the end of the year lol

Why do these things happen to us? Happy for Sam tho

 

[Corpus X]

Bennett is better than McDavid.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He's already got more ES goals than Monahan and 1 less ES point lol.

Edit: now tied with 17 ES points.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Bennett gets another - 5 points in 3 games and counting

Amazing what happens when you give a skilled player skilled linemates, proper ice time AND play him at his natural position.
