We’re roughly a week away from September and the Calgary Flames have a fair bit of business to tidy up before training camp begins. While the signings of Tyler Wotherspoon and Brett Kulak to new deals are fairly important pieces to figure out, they pale in comparison to the new contract for 21-year-old Sam Bennett.
The Flames’ first round selection back in 2014 (and the highest-drafted player in Calgary history), Bennett has two full NHL seasons under his belt in a top nine role despite not being legally able to buy alcohol in the United States for the entirety of his entry-level contract.
