I'm not sure that's necessarily where Calgary needs to be, but if the plan is to shuffle some of the defensive deck chairs and maybe move a defender out for offensive help, it might make sense to capitalise on Bennett's free agent status and value around the league.
The Flames are in the unenviable position of needing a lot of help, but without the necessary trade assets to get deals done. Bennett is a prime trade asset.
Move bennett, sign backlund... profit?

In general, sure. Specific to Anaheim, I don't see it. Not unless the Ducks can buy out Bieksa before the expansion draft. Because we sure as hell aren't going to trade Bennett for one of Anaheim's good defenders, only to have to expose them to Vegas. So no move of this type is even within the realm of possibility until the start of July.
