Report: Sam Bennett to Calgary (Or Maybe Not)
Sam Bennett’s Kingston Frontenacs were finally swept by the North Bay Battalion last night, ending their first round Ontario Hockey League series and, potentially, Bennett’s junior career.
Mark Edwards of HockeyProspect.com tweeted this post-game:
The majority of the media folks from Calgary – and around the NHL, mind you – were indicating that Bennett was heading to the AHL, or weren’t entirely sure.
Because of Edwards’ lack of connection with the Flames, and the fact that he’s just one source saying this in a sea of people saying nothing right now, I’m urging some caution. But I wouldn’t be shocked if this report was correct.
Bennett had 24 points in 11 regular season games and 3 points in 4 playoff games for Kingston this season.
UPDATE: John Shannon of Sportsnet seems to corroborate the report.
