The Flames recently held a team-only meeting to deal with how the club has struggled, but worked hard to play a tougher style of hockey. Bennett has always been known as a gritty and skilled forward, but with the team being fairy deep down the middle, there was a rumor going around that Bennett might want to make a change. Friedman reached out to Darren Ferris and he confirmed Bennett would like a trade to be considered.

The Flames are not in any hurry to make a move “they like their depth down the middle, they’re not racing to make a move, but according to the agent for Sam Bennett, he would like a change of scenery.”

A true enigma since the first day he arrived with the Flames, Bennett has been hot and cold with the hockey club, but not done enough and a trade might be good for the player and the team.
