I'm guessing they would want Bennett. The purpose of trading Schneider would be to help with the young talent pool. They'd also probably want Gillies as a potential starter down the road.
Calgary might also have to throw in the first round pick or Frolik.
Schneider's salary might make things a bit more complicated. The Flames might need to send some money the other way.
Calgary would have to overpay to get Schneider. Would it be worth it? Yeah, I think so. He would make a gigantic difference in terms of team success.
Bennett
Gillies
2017 or 2018 First Round Pick
Schneider
Yes, this is a lot to pay. But the Flames would have to pry Schneider out of there.
I could also see Frolik being offered, to make the salaries even out.
Bennett
Frolik (modified NTC)
Gillies
Schneider
The Flames' top 6 would be quite a bit weaker without Frolik and Bennett. However, they would likely still have enough cap space to sign a top 6 winger in free agency. With Versteeg re-signed, the Flames might be okay.
I could be (and probably am) completely off, I'm just kicking off some actual trade proposal ideas.
I'm guessing a lot of people here would not want to part with Bennett, Gillies AND Frolik/1 Round Pick. But I highly doubt New Jersey would be willing to take anything less.
