Which is why I am not sold on the trade and am just throwing it out there.
That said, Bennett got the bulk of his production on the wing. Much of it next to Backlund ironically (funny how many players produce next to him). If the Flames project him as a winger (and I am not saying they do) that might sway things.
Adding Puljujarvi and Hartnell to RW, losing Wideman, and still selecting at 6 would go a long way in moving the club forward. Even with the loss of Bennett.
