I know that you're not trolling and truly and honestly hate Bennett as a hockey player, but I don't see your post as accurate.

I think that all of Flames fandom is on board with Janko needing a fresh start somewhere. He is the perfect player to go the other way in an Anderson trade. Only a small sweetener needed.

Bennett should be the third line centre. Hartley had him on a strong development curve, and then GG, Peters and now Ward have him buried in the wrong position on an offensive black hole line. I expect Gallant will have him on the right line, in the right position, simply because he is a smarter coach. I know that we will agree to disagree on this. If he plays on a line with Anderson and Dube, even if they trade him the next off season, his value will increase exponentially.

Lucic is here for the duration unless there is a compliance buyout. Lucic-Ryan-Phillips third or fourth line (I see them as interchangeable) should wear out the opposition.
