Nylander is getting the Bennett treatment. He is a center playing as a winger. But much better than Bennett.
You are not getting Lindholm for Bennett. As bad as it sounds you are likely not getting Vatanen for Bennett.
By you I mean the Flames or anyone else in the Pacific if they had Bennett. Vatanen will go east.
