Calgary is a cap team with 18.175 M of cap invested in Ryan(3.125M), Neal(5.75M), Stone(3.5M), Frolik(4.3M), and Brouwer (1.5M). The only upcoming UFA we have this off-season is Mike Smith (4.25M) and we will still need to find a replacement for him.
Trading away two young and effective cost-controlled assets and a 1st make no sense as few, if any, of those veteran cap hits are moveable without losing even more assets. Nylander (7+M) and Tkachuk's(8+M) cap hits will be difficult to absorb and if Bennett continues his pace since being moved to the top six (0.714 PPG) he can finish the season with around 50 points - another player we need cap space for (4+M).
Unless you have a way of clearing a huge chunk of our dead cap, it's just not a viable trade.
