I haven't looked at their roster but he's the type of player that if he can't protected in the expansion draft, will be one much like many players that vegas selected, who when given the chance to play top 6 minutes from a third line role, could blossom.

 

He's taken a while, but don't forget he was a very high scoring, elite offensive player in junior. He has simply recreated his game to play a role to stay in the league. There's alot of untapped skill there.

It is, what, 6 forwards, 3 D and a goalie?   Or any 8 skaters + a goalie??

 

My crack at their expansion list; 

 

Forwards: Gaudreau, Monahan, Lindholm, Tkachuk, Backlund, then    Dube, Bennett or Jankowski?

Defenceman: Giordano, Hanafin, then a big dilemma Rasmus Andresson or Valimaki?

Goalie, who cares at this point?  :huh: 

 

If I'm them, I'm going option B, protecting Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Andresson, Valimaki, Habafin, Gio and a goalie.

 

Its too big a loss on D in option A.  So, if today, teams could pick Jankowski or Backlund.  I don't think Bennett is most attractive in either circumstance...

He was by far and away their best forward in that humiliating semi sweep ( 4 straight in 5 games ) playoffs.

 

We commented here how the Fall-ames will miss Ferland in post season and we were correct!

Future canuck...Virtanen for Bennett swap in a few years.

Idk Flames fans really love him. 

 

Plus the safety of Vancouver kids is important, especially if a guy like this is strolling around
