Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Brett Ritchie (1 Year / $900,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EmpressKayla</b></div><div>He sucks; even as expansion fodder, Leivo would've been the better choice. Still, now that CGY meets the expansion draft requirements, this signing isn't harmful in any way.</div></div>
Leivo was atrocious this year, he had exactly one good game all season and more than a fair amount of opportunities on a scoring line with Gaudreau and Monahan. Simon looked even worse. Ritchie isn’t gonna provide any sort of depth scoring but at least he’s physical and looks like less trying out there. Definitely the best of our depth guys this year. Shouldn’t be higher than 4RW but he’s solid in that role. Probably a league min guy, but the extra 150k is because it had to get done prior to the expansion draft to meet exposure requirements, so that’s fine. It likely won’t impact Calgary’s off-season plans and can be fully buried still.

Sujet: Instead of Trading Him for Pennies on the Dollar
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canadianape</b></div><div>im sorry but bennett has been given every possible chance in the last 6 years, he has played pretty much every line combo and every position and he just isnt able to elevate. why would we handicapp lindholm and tkachuk by making them play with a centre who isnt and has never been a top 6 guy. if you move lindholm to wing then backlund becomes our second best centre not bennett.

the pin should have been pulled on this guy 2 years ago but since we waited we will just have to take whatever we can get for him and move on</div></div>

Please explain to me how he has been given "every possible chance." Because let's be honest, the man has been played at 4th line RW, 4th line LW and alongside guys like Jankowski and Brouwer more often than not. He has not been given a chance at his position (Centre) and he has not been given complementary line mates. When did he ever play with Gaudreau? When did he ever play with Lindholm? Heck, when was the last time he played with Backlund before this year?

Sam Bennett has been a trooper and done everything that was asked of him. Unfortunately, every time he does something good (like last year in the bubble or like in his rookie season), manage seems to decide that they've seen enough and set him up to fail instead.
