Sam Bennett is the highest drafted player in Flames history and the organizations current unequivocal best prospect. His draft +1 year was mostly used to rehab a bum shoulder but it also featured a short dominating stint back in the OHL with Kingston Frontenacs and a modest playoff run with the Flames. This year he will most certainly be a lock to make the big club and become a full-time NHLer.
Sam Bennett was the 4th overall draft pick of the 2014 draft however was ranked by most experts as the best forward available. Likely because he was the smallest of three capable centers (Reinhart and Draisaitl), Bennett fell to 4th and the Flames were the benefactor of the best ranked forward of the draft.
