Would Sharp be a good winger for Bennett? That is the potential line I see coming together:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Sharp - Bennett - Colborne
Bouma - Backlund - Jooris
Ferland - Stajan - Jones
ex. Bollig, Shore
Then Bennett gets a good veteran beside him, Colborne to aid on the faceoffs, and the two lines below take more D-zone starts to shelter Bennett as he gets used to playing centre at NHL level.
Granlund makes sense to trade IMO as the Flames are about to have a glut of players in that age group pushing for time. The 2nd round pick this year could get a guy who may develop to where Granlund is in time, but that way it means more players coming along as this current crop of youth progresses
