The market for Bennett will be exceptionally small, for all the reasons Jiri suggested. Bennett is a 3rd or 4th line player, get's paid really well for what he produces and brings to the team, and is a RFA with a substantial qualifier. If you're making a deal for him you're going to have to swallow the qualifier, and because you have swallowed that qualifier use a protection slot for Bennett. That is a sizable investment for a player whose production hit an all time low last season and has been trending in the wrong direction. The best thing the Flames can hope for is a swap of problem children. Jake Virtanen is the perfect fit?
