If the Flames do have to move a piece of the core for cap reasons I seriously doubt it'll be Bennett who is likely looking at a bridge contract in the $2.5 million dollar range.
He won't be a cap issue for at least 3 years so don't see why we'd have to trade him.
Usually when a core piece needs to be traded it's because they will be asking for too much and the team simply has to get value for them before they become too expensive to keep.
Bennett will not be expensive when he re-signs.
