Hamonic is exactly what they are looking for, a two way top 4 RHD. Bennett still has upside and plays a physical game and is cost controlled, it depends on if Dubas sees that upside or not.

The Flames get worse if they trade any of Brodie, Hamonic, or Hanafin for a winger. Andersson, Stone, Valimaki, or Kylington are our only real options, and of them only Andersson makes sense for Toronto.
Bennett also doesn't make sense. We have to trade some salary. Which means Frolik, Gaudreau, Lindholm, Ryan, Monahan, Backlund, or Neal has to go back. The only ones that make sense are Frolik and Neal. Only Neal makes sense long term since we can't afford Neal, Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Nylander,
and Lindholm on the wing long term.
