I personally believe in our group and am not an advocate of trading Johnny!
But if there was a way to trade for Jamie Ben than I would have a hard time saying no!
So my question is who says no to the trade?
Johnny Points in 5 years 387
Jamie point in 5 years 377
Johnny Age 25
Jamie Age 29
Johnny salary 6.75 for 3 more years
Jamie salary 9.5 for 6 more years
Jamie Benn is coming off his worst season since being a rookie and there was lots of criticism by the ownership group early on in the season. Dallas has failed to make the conference final under this core group. Maybe its not that far fetched to believe that Jamie Benn would be untouchable.
Pipe Dream!

I wouldn't do that... Johnny's age difference + cap hit + offensive production makes him more valuable.
Something I would consider would be Johnny + Neal for Taylor Hall (with a pre-arranged contract extension).
From the Devils' perspective, they get a player that is from the general area, on a long term contract that they don't have to sell the player on.
From the Flames' perspective, they get the more well rounded player, and can make the dollars work if they can keep Hall under the $10M mark.
