I do think he's decent option though as it's not purely a rental situation. As for the "third line" the team should be relying on the top 3 lines almost evenly or at least the second and third line evenly so IMO it doesn't matter what line he plays on providing he plays. Simmonds/Kane may be better options with Janko than Bennett is...now anyway.
Bennett for Simmonds doesn't work cap wise. I don't think Philly would take Brouwer. We'd definitely have to give up an additional asset to get them to take Stajan too. Seems like a bad fit, though if the Flames were to trade Bennett, I'd want it to be out east.
