Isn't Stamkos the kind of player we hope Bennett turns into one day? Consistent top 5 scorer year over year, game breaker, etc.
I wouldn't have any issue sending Bennett to Tampa for Stamkos in that respect.
Calgary's cap situation going forward would be more challenging though with Stamkos in the fold. It's still a good move for the Flames I think as they'd have a known quantity in Stamkos who is still young. The Flames would have to add.
