If Tre could get conditional 2020 1st or 2nd rounders (based on playoff success or re-signing) plus prospects for Hamonic and Brodie, I say you do it.
...then find lower tier D-men to fill the gap. Valimaki might be back, also.
Then use one of the attained picks plus Bennett to aquire a legit RW who still has a bit of term. (I'm on the Palmieri train and believe he could be convinced to accept a trade to Calgary)
Boom! The team might still be good enough to make it to the second or third round, plus there are extra picks in a solid draft year. ...and the UFAs aren't lost for nothing.

I get using one of the d-men to bloster up the top 6, but you are not going to the 2nd round using 2 bottom 6 d-men as replacements. Not even sure they would make the playofs going that route.
