From a team needs perspective, I can see not wanting to do that swap but it's pretty close value-wise. Yzerman is in the driver's seat here, he's not doing some quality for quantity deal. If the Flames do acquire him, they will pay a hefty, condensed price.

So the GM thst has the disgruntled young player is in the drivers seat? Um no the GM's that have content players on their roster (or at least players that have not asked for a trade publically) are in the drivers seat. It is laughable that you think Yzerman is going to get a player like Bennett for Drouin. Fabbri I could see he was a mid 1st and looks like a decent player but not a potential top line centre like Bennett is.
Yzerman is in a position of weakness but he also isn't absolutely forced to make a move so not in a helpless situation.
