I doubt it very much. Unless the Flames aren't interested in signing or re-signing big name players any more. Everyone wants to control their destiny somewhat. I would be willing to bet both Monahan and Gaudreau get NMCs when they sign their long-term deals.
And Guaranteed EV - Among other reasons, O'Reilly's difficult history and, thanks to Feaster, he already had a $6 million cap hit - nearly double that of Toffoli.
And to put this to bed, if you think there is even the slightest remote chance that the Flames would not be giving up Bennett in such a trade, then we're done here. You are operating in a world not of our own.
