I suspect there would be a lot of teams that would eagerly trade a 2nd for Bennett, but I don't think Treliving would/should consider it because as I said originally, they view Bennett's worth to the Flames team as more significant than that.
My original question that you objected to was "If you only get a 2nd round pick for Sam Bennett, is it worth it?" For the 2019/2020 iteration of the Flames and for Brad Treliving, I think the answer is a strong no.

I think the base of our argument comes from looking at the player and the deal from the perspective of the 2019/2020 Flames vs the value from a birds eye view.
Theres no one in the Flames org that could make the flames a better team with the opportunity that Sam's trade would open up if draft picks were the return, that I agree with.
But that only increases his value to the Flames, not to the teams that want to pick him up.
I also agree with your take on Lazar being a bad deal and it goes right back to the Sven deal for Andersson being bad for Vancouver as well. Reclamation projects in general seldom work out and a team would probably be better off just keeping the picks
