People need to realize that the cost of moves like this - especially for these three players - is very likely going to be huge. And since we all know how highly the Flames rate Brodie, the argument really being made here is that the odds of the Flames moving up into the top three is exceedingly small.

I think you're right. Columbus would want the moon.
There seems to be a large gap between players like Bennett, Hamilton, and Brodie, then assets like Backlund, the 2nds, Kylington, etc. If a deal gets done, I'm guessing it'll have to be closer to the Bennett side of things in terms of value (in addition to the 6th overall).
Brad Treliving isn't crazy enough to trade away Bennett or Brodie.
IMO, the only things with a lot of value that might be traded are the 2017 first rounder and Hamilton. Hamilton would still be too much IMO.
What if they offered the 6th and the 2017 first for the 3rd overall? Brad could then acquire the best goalie available to lower the value of our 2017 pick. They could also trade some of the seconds for someone else's 2017 first.
