OG has some big shoes to fill.

For his sake hopefully the stress causes him to drink and become belligerent.

Friedman on #Flames: "I think they're trying to add a defenseman to play w/ Brodie. I don't think there's any question about that." 960

So I know everyone hates this question but who would Sam Bennett fetch for us?

My request would be Cam Fowler.

Anaheim won't do Bennett for Fowler straight up. He's having a career year and will fetch a pretty penny at the deadline should the Ducks decided to part with him (which I doubt they will).

Not really into debating player worth with anyone on a website where neither of us are GM's.

The Point of the quote is the flames are looking for a top 4 D-men which would indicate that we are prepared to protect four from the expansion. That means that 1 of our original forwards that we would have protected would be involved in the trade.

In my opinion that leaves Frolik, Brouwer or Bennett as the odd men out.

So if its Bennett and we are looking at top 4 d-men available (trade Rumors) than who would you target?

Why on earth would the Flames trade Bennett? They aren't deep at forward either. Not gonna happen we might as well stop talking about it.

I gave 3 options of people that could be potentially traded for the top 4 d-man the Eliot Friedman just mentioned that we are targeting on 960.

Just curious to see who people would go after, if they were BT, not shut people down on what there opinion is.

The point is, you have to pay up if your targeting a top 4 d-man.

If I said Frolik for Fowler people would laugh! If you say Bennett for Cam that's a starting point.

So who would be you target OG?

And with Andersson and Kylington probably ready next year I think the D will be in good shape. The focus should be a top 6 RW!

Forget the question was ever asked I'm just going by what Friedman was saying on 960. Flames are targeting someone to play with Brodie.

As for why we should trade Bennett?

I'll come right out and say it, he blows! Try to get something for him ASAP. Outside of the playoffs and his 4 goal game I have not been impressed or blown away. And if you have you're lying to yourself. Not saying he won't be good, but he certainly hasn't lit this world on fire in the last 2 years.

See Clyde's post below cause I agree with him.

We have some nice D prospects coming up the pipeline, and the flames aren't going to win the cup this year. So why the (frank) would they target a big name RHD?? Stay the course, let the team develop, and maybe see what you can bring in next year via free agency if there's still a need. Not to mention having 4 dmen to keep in the expansion draft exposes the rest of the team.

Most importantly the Flames lack forwards prospects. Trading Bennett because Wideman is poop IS THE WORST (frank)ING IDEA

Jesus christ budddd. Back off the fcking ledge!

He's in his second year...you probably were one of the ones trying to run backlund out of town a few years ago too!

Face the facts. The Flames have been blessed with Monahan, Gaudreau, and now Tkachuck. The fact of the matter is those 3 guys are the exception not the norm. Give Bennett some (frank)ing time!

Even if Bennett does reach his potential as a 1st line center, he's still going to be a great player, better than anyone else the Flames have in the pipeline anyway.

ok...ok.. if its not Bennett being traded its someone else.

Lets try this Player X for top 4 d-man.


And please try and keep in mind I'm not the one starting the rumor. Elliot Friedman just said on the radio we are targeting a d-man to play with Brodie.

I'm not debating if there is capable players in the pipeline or that our main concern should be an RW. Just stating what was talked about.

Also i HOPE to god you are all right! Good leaders don't care who's right, they care whats right!

I will gladly tell you all that you were right if he pans out. The fact is that in that draft he was taken 4th overall and there is currently 7 players from that draft with higher point totals.

He's not a dud by any stretch but maybe just maybe his potential that is always talked about, isn't as high as all of us would have expected. And if so i would rather not wait until hes worth say... a 3rd round pick like Yak or a second like Sven.

The key is to not to become to attached because he was drafted so high.

I have to agree with Yeah...Baby, I think Bennett hasnt even come close to living up to the "potential" that everyone seems to love to talk about. He's had few flashes of stardom, but it's terribly inconsistent. How long do you give a guy a chance to produce? Potential doesnt put points on the board. Everyone seems to think hes going to be a top line center for us, but the way he's going right now its looking grim. Guys of his age should be progressing and getting better, not being a healthy scratch because of terrible stats. Get somebody good while hes worth something.
