Well....THAT hasn't turned out. Dare we say YET? Nah....probably not. Even HALF s good would be ok with Flames Nation. :)<br />Jetflame1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15987304711326093094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422944892527683969.post-78280583177234359812014-09-30T07:35:11.217-06:002014-09-30T07:35:11.217-06:00A couple of things I noticed when comparing Bennet...A couple of things I noticed when comparing Bennett to McDavid. 2011/12 playing Minor Midget (on same team) Bennett 37 games 69 points, McDavid 33 games 71 points. 2012/13 both first year in OHL Bennett 60 games 40 points -2 plus/minus, McDavid 63 games 66 points -24 plus/minus. 2013/14 2nd OHL season Bennett 57 games 91 points +34, McDavid 56 games 99 points +47. World U18 Junior championships in 7 games Bennett 7 points +8 and McDavid 14 points +8 (was on line with Reinhart and Klimchuk). And even though Bennett was draft eligible a year earlier he's still just 6 months older than McDavid. I know McDavid is a "better" player but says a lot for Bennett too to have similar stats to a so called generational talent. Also interesting is Bennett, Klimchuk and McDavid have played together loads for Canada. And Bennett & McDavid played together Minor Midget age group, for a couple of years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422944892527683969.post-31554750505845552512014-09-28T09:07:17.500-06:002014-09-28T09:07:17.500-06:00I am excited and I have no doubts those 3 will be ...I am excited and I have no doubts those 3 will be awesome. Now, looking how the veterans are playing so far, I believe Bennett and Gaudreau are better. However I understand that one more year in junior would not be bad to Bennett. <br />Gaudreau is a different case. He can't be out of the NHL any longer. It doesn't make any sense Jones, Setoguchi, Mason, Colborne, Stajan, Bollig playing while he is off at AHL.<br />I was also very executed about Granlund and I was sure he would be in the opening night until he got hurt. Sven.... I don't know about Sven. He has ups and downs from a period to another!Carlos ( KK )https://www.blogger.com/profile/14096684388080773040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422944892527683969.post-54228498311503729212014-09-27T15:14:35.025-06:002014-09-27T15:14:35.025-06:00Look.

The problem is, making comparisons with unproven talent looks bad on you. Just relax, pay attention to a real talent cycle and hope get lucky. I doubt all three will ever come lay a meaningful game together, as management will trade one, or two to "win now" in a few years and we will watch, like we did with St. Louis, as they excel elsewhere. <br /><br />I'm happy, can't wait, but skeptical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
