3 Questions Facing The Flames in 2016-17
-Is Sam Bennett ready to take that next step?
The Flames are hoping their young centre can keep developing at the pace he is at. Bennett played in 77 of the Flames 82 games last season. In his first full year he notched 18 goals and added 18 assists. For the first part of last season he was very streaky, but once he found his footing, Bennett was not only a reliable offensive weapon, but he can also play the physical aspect of the game as well. If his preseason is any indication, he is ready to take that next step and for the Flames to make a run at the playoffs they will need Bennett to start hot and stay hot.
