I wonder how a line of Bennett-Ribeiro-Versteeg would do getting a majority of offensive zone starts. Lots of skill there but not much jam. Ribeiro is also terrible at face-offs.
I dunno. The Flames do seem to be short on skilled players and I think it would benefit Bennett to move to the wing and play with a playmaker.
Then again, Ribeiro comes with baggage and he would almost certainly replace a bigger player. I'd be surprised if the Flames put in a claim but I would be interested to see how it turned out if they did.
