Sam Bennett Is Going To Be A Centre (At Least To Start)

Calgary Flames head coach Bob Hartley did the media rounds this week, including an appearance on Sportsnet 960 The Fan's morning show with Dean "Boomer" Molberg and Ryan Pinder. He covered a number of topics in the 20+ minute interview, which you can listen to on the station's website in its entirety.

The biggest news item? Probably where Sam Bennett is going to start the season: up the middle.

The fact that he was still a kid and everything, we put him on the wing [during the playoffs]. And I don't really like this. I like his game, and he showed us that he can play at wing, but I think that we drafted him as a center, and at camp we're going to work unbelievably hard with Sammy.
