A little risk for both teams, but one where the Flames take on a higher potential return if PLD gets his #### together. As it is, PLD would come in and be viewed as a support player and not the guy to carry the mail. Might help him get it together.

You have to give to get so this deal makes sense. I do think Bennett could thrive playing for a guy like Torts and in a fresh start. I am concerned the Flamesnwould be selling low on Hanifin who was somewhat wasted having to play with Hamonic for the last 2 years. It is early but he looks good with Tanev and did look good with Anderson
Having said that it allows them to get Valimaki in the top 4 and Mackey/Kylington in the lineup so they do have the depth to make this move. I assume this moves Lindholm to the wing and playing with Tkachuk and PLD and a healthy Dube getting a look with Monahan and Gaudreau. Mangiapane with Backlund and Leivo and Lucic, Ryan, Simon.
