The highest the Calgary Flames have ever picked in the NHL Entry-Draft is 4th overall in 2014. With that pick, they chose Sam Bennett. Being the highest pick in a franchise’s history brings high expectations. Bennett has shown flashes of stardom in the NHL. Whether it’s the 4-goal-game against the Florida Panthers last season, or the remarkable tenacity he showed in the 2015 playoffs, it’s clear the kid’s got upside – Alot of it.
So why is he steadily falling down the Flames depth charts and is the subject of various trade talks among fans?
Well, #93 had a rough season.
