Sam Bennett

[Henrik18]

Hey guys

Just want to know your thoughts about Sam Bennett!?

Only 22 years...in multi cat leagues he‘s a good option
But will he be more than this?do u think he‘ll become a Scorer too?
Are 50 pts realistic the next years?
Or is he just the guy for sog/hits/pims?

Hard to say. I don't know where he would fit in in order to get that much offense in the foreseeable future. He's definitely worth owning in mult-cat leagues like you mentioned but the offense has yet to blossom. It's still early but it will all come down to opportunity.

I think he has the talent but the opportunity might not come for a while. Calgary has a very solid top 6 so unless there is a significant injury, I see him stuck on the 3rd for a while. LOVE his physical game, though.

The way I see it, he is already a very solid own in any standard mutlicat league (hits, pim). And that is at a ~32 point pace this year.

As you said he is only 22, there is still potential, and CGY isn't blind to it either. There's been a few times this season he's been bumped up to the second line, and he continues to get PP2 time. I'd expect 35 points going forward from him, with having a few 40ish point seasons in his career. But he could break out like Wilson too.
