The fourth overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, Bennett was the Flames’ highest-ever draft selection. He’s been a full-time pro since the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs. After wobbling between center and the left wing during his first few seasons, he’s seemingly found a pretty good niche for himself as a rugged middle-six winger who can play either side of the ice.
