CALGARY - The Scotiabank Saddledome has turned out to be a pretty exciting workout facility for injured prospect Sam Bennett, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.The injury-riddled Flames, arguably the NHLs biggest surprise this season at 17-8-2, sit one point back of the Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks for the lead in the Western Conference entering Fridays games.Its amazing being part of a rebuild and how much success weve been having, said Bennett, selected fourth overall by Calgary in this years draft. Its been awesome just being in the room. Everyone is so happy and in such good moods. Its just great to see how well not only the young guys, but how everyone is playing.Bennett, 18, underwent surgery on Oct. 14 to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Meeting with the media for the first time Friday since the operation, he said hes pleased with his recovery. They anchored it back onto the bone. It all went really well and they had no issue, Bennett said. Im really happy with the progress so far. Ive gone a solid month now of solid rehab. Im starting to do some strength work now too and I havent had any issues so its all positive.Bennett spent the past month in Calgary where a typical day consists of arriving at the rink, attending the team meeting, then going for a workout as the players get ready for practice. In the gym, he works on his conditioning and his lifting with Flames strength and conditioning coach Ryan van Asten.Once thats complete, its off to see the trainers for some physical therapy.The goal is to be skating come the New Year and from there, keep progressing and if I have no issues skating, then were going to keep ramping it up, said Bennett.Bennett, a native of Holland Landing, Ont., hopes to get in some games before the end of this season. He said hes learned a lot from being around the Flames for the past four weeks.Im a pretty hard-working guy but just coming here and seeing the amount of work that not only I have to put in but the guys that are playing put in, its pretty impressive and you definitely appreciate it more when youre here, said Bennett.Coach Bob Hartley said the Flames are trying to do everything they can to make something positive out of what was a negative situation.A day like today is a great day at school for Sam Bennett, said Hartley. He sees the (Mark) Giordanos and company in the gym, preparing for tomorrow. Even though most of those guys didnt skate, it was a work day, it was not a day off.You get the sense that if Hartley was assigning grades, Bennetts marks so far would be pretty darn good.This kid is going to be a special one. Hes eager. If we would listen to him, not only would he be skating with us, hed be playing right now. Hes champing at the bit to the point where hes almost annoying, Hartley said with a laugh.With Mason Raymond (shoulder), Matt Stajan (knee), Joe Colborne (wrist) and Mikael Backlund (abdomen) all out with injuries, it has opened up playing time and Calgarys rookies have stepped in and played significant roles.With Johnny Gaudreau (4-16-20) second in rookie points, unheralded Josh Jooris (8-4-12) tied for third in rookie goals and Markus Granlund (3-6-9) in the top 15 in rookie scoring, it bodes well for the future.Its awesome with some of the big-name guys we have out right now, said Gaudreau. A lot of younger guys including myself have stepped in and I think weve done a pretty good job so far. Were still winning games with us younger guys in the lineup. Were helping contribute offensively and defensively and its just great to see us younger guys help the team out here.Thats a future that will inevitably include Bennett, the Flames highest draft pick in team history.(Bennett) being here is going to be a good experience for him, said sophomore centre Sean Monahan, whos second on the team with 10 goals. Hes going to be learning a lot just by being around the dressing room.Monahan played against Bennett in junior and knows the calibre of player the Flames have on their hands. Obviously, weve seen him in the pre-season and what he can do, he said. Hes going to get confidence being here and knowing what some of the young guys are doing and hes going to be a great player for us.Its going to be a bright future and its going to be a good team here for a long time.Notes: The Flames will kick off a four-game Eastern trip on Tuesday night in Toronto. Theyll bring Bennett along with them and hell stay at home in nearby Holland Landing until early January when he meets again with his surgeon. After that appointment, hell make his way back to Calgary.

Wheeler said Kane was just making a joke that was misunderstood and misinterpreted by "Winnipeg folks" and the media once again. Wheeler repeated that he believes Kane is a player who has the ability to help the Jets get to the next level as they try once again to reach the playoffs in 2014. He made the comments initially in an interview, when asked how the Jets could compete in the Central Division with teams that have made some high-profile off-season signings.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Even though the Green Bay Packers got a bargain the last time they signed Jordy Nelson to a contract extension, the veteran wide receiver said Tuesday he still would prefer to sign another deal before the season rather than playing out the final year of his contract. Nelson, who caught 85 passes for 1,314 yards last season, both career bests, said he doesnt know if his agent, Vann McElroy, and the Packers have had any meaningful conversations about an extension. "Hes not going to just bug me with it," he said. "Hell let me know when it gets close." The last time Nelson, a second-round pick in 2008, was in a contract year was in 2011, when he signed a three-year, $13.989 million extension in October. That deal included $5 million in guaranteed money, including a $3.5 million signing bonus. That deal paid Nelson a base salary of $2.7 million last year, and calls for him to make a base salary of $3.05 million in 2014. In terms of annual average salary, Nelson currently ranks 34th on the wide receiver pay scale league-wide entering 2014. But he indicated Tuesday that hes anxious to get a new deal simply because he wants the peace of mind. "You want it done so you and your family are comfortable, you want it done so you dont have to worry about it," he said. "I think on both sides. They get it done they can start working on someone else.ddddddddddddquot; That someone else is fourth-year wide receiver Randall Cobb, a second-round pick in 2011 who is going into the final year of his rookie deal. Cobb missed 10 games last season with a leg injury, but he returned in time to catch the playoffs-clinching touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers on a fourth-down play at Chicago in the regular-season finale last year. "Im not a businessman so I dont really know that side of it," Cobb said of his situation. "Thats what I have an agent for - for him to handle that kind of thing. Thats for the Packers to decide and figure out." It appears Nelson is the priority, and after Chicagos Brandon Marshall signed a four-year, $39.3 million extension ($22.3 million guaranteed) with the Bears last month, Nelsons market should be set. Marshall caught 100 passes for 1,295 yards and 12 TDs last season for the Bears. Marshall turned 30 in March; Nelson turned 29 last week. Asked if he feels additional pressure in a contract year, Nelson replied, "No. I dont think so, not at all. I didnt feel that last time, and I dont think Ill feel it this time. I think were a long ways from that anyway. Weve got a few months to hopefully work on that and get it taken care of. I think well be fine." ' ' '
