He had a good game too.

If Bennett is viewed, as some here would say, as a "project", then he's not someone a contender would look to pick up at the deadline. On the other hand, if he's a solid playoff performer, then he's exactly the kind of player you don't trade away if you're in the race. Anyway, if the Flames are in it at the deadline, it makes little to no sense to give up a current roster player with lots of remaining team control for a future draft pick, especially a late 2nd rounder. This isn't like trading Glencross as a rental at the deadline in the final year of his contract before he was a UFA.
