Bennett, the 35 pick, and Wideman with 2 million retained for the 3 pick and Hartnell makes sense to me.
Columbus gets a prospect of a similar caliber to Puljujarvi, but one that has two years on him and is a centre. They also get out of the Hartnell contract.
Calgary gets to pick at 3 and 6 and gets an upgrade at wing with Hartnell and Puljujarvi next season. Plus we have the depth at centre to afford the move.
It's a trade that works for both teams in my opinion. It also gives Calgary more options to move down from 6.
