Exactly. Edmonton needs that #2 centerman, they get that out of Draisaitl. I am starting to think Toronto works out a deal with Florida and picks Bennett. They really think highly of the kid. With that, Calgary should still be able to get their hands on Ekblad, whether we trade Buffalo or not.
1. Toronto - Bennett
2. Buffalo/Calgary - Reinhart/Ekblad
3. Edmonton - Draisaitl
4. Calgary/Buffalo - Ekblad/Reinhart
I think Florida would take Phaneuf + 8th OA and a pick from Toronto if his salary gets retained.
EDIT: Probably won't happen, but this could happen if Toronto finds a way to grab Bennett.
