I think the reclamation of Robbi Fabbri and Kevin Fiala's careers this year will help keep Bennett's value relatively high.

All 3 guys were 2014 first rounders who had some success with their drafted teams but has struggled in recent years.

Bennett is obviously looking at those two and thinking what a change of scenery might mean for him.

It's up to Tre to make a good deal, hopefully for a similar struggling young player with upside.

I'm almost certain Bennett will ask for a trade this Summer and even if he doesn't, the Flames might need his $2,550,000 cap space to go big game free agent hunting.
