Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun: Sam Bennett‘s agent Darren Ferris confirmed to Elliotte Friedman over the weekend that he’d like “a change of scenery.”
Bennett hasn’t said why, but it will likely be about “opportunity.”
He’s been used as a third-line winger or fourth-line center so far this season. Dillon Dube, Josh Leivo and Dominik Simon have been used in the top-six ahead of Bennett.
Teams are always looking for guys like Bennett, and he’s the kind of player the Calgary Flames would like to keep.
