You could get Mark Stone for sure, but maybe I think you guys are underestimating what it takes to move into the top 5 draft picks? And then Ottawa adds on top of that?

Well the proposal had Bennett in it, a former top 5 pick himself. I wouldn’t be giving him away and he seems to be missing from your equation.
Hamilton is easily worth more than Stone. Top pairing defencemen are worth way more than wingers. Bennett IMO you wouldn’t be trading for anything less than a mid 1st. i certainly wouldn’t add anything more from CGY’s end and if you’re looking for an overpayment to dealing Hamilton then yeah maybe OTT would have to add.
Personally I think it doesn’t make any sense to be dealing Bennett as I doubt his trade value is as high as his upside. So best to keep him.
Hamilton you only deal if you get an overpayment IMO. So take what you think is a fair deal and then add a bit more from the other team
