I would do that 10 times out of 10 from a Flames perspective since we all know Bennett is a bust in terms of being a top 5 pick that will never score in volumes anywhere near the level expected of that status (people can throw out all the stats they want, but it's crystal clear he doesn't have the shot or hockey IQ to play with the big boys or man a top PP unit). The Flames can certainly use his tenacity in a playoff run of their own, but I don't think they get to that level unless they add more skill to the roster.
Kapanen ticks that box for me and could very well bring the Monahan-Guadreau line back to offensive dominance for the next few seasons.

The one thing about my comment about Reilly and Muzzin being shelved is that Muzzin is now skating in the AHL so he'd not going to be gone for too much longer.
