How about that, then flip the 21st with Backlund and another prospect (Granlund, Wotherspoon?) to Colorado for Ryan O'Reilly.
Flames still pick 31st, 45th, 51st, 52nd, 76th and 83rd through 3 rounds, and upgrade our #2 center slot by a fair bit with O'Reilly.
Gaudreau (22) - Monahan (21) -
Bennett (19) - O'Reilly - (24) -
O'Reilly and Bennett are interchangeable.
There's a core of four to build the forwards around for a decade plus. (Obviously need to get O'Reilly extended, the sooner the better)

That was me, but i mentioned trading both the 15th and 45th picks for the 21st and 31st picks. Which i would still do in a heartbeat.
I really like your ROR idea as well, a bennett - o'rielly line would become one of the best shutdown lines in the league in very short order. there would be matchup problems for opposing teams for years to come with that core group.
