To acquire someone like Ovechkin would take a great young player like Bennett.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Ovechkin
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Ferland - Lazar - Versteeg
Bouma - Jankowski - Hathaway

Problem with that top 6 is the near impossibility to keep that group together. Backlund needs big dough in 1 year and Tkachuk in 2.
I do not see a scenario where the Flames add Ovi and can keep Backs and Frolik long term. At least Bennett will be on a cheap bridge deal
