Moving into 2020-21 Bennett could still be considered an intriguing trade chip as he was rumored to be a part of a Taylor Hall trade before that fell through. He has one year left on his contract at 2.55M which isn’t exactly huge, but looks to be one of the more movable players if the Flames decided to add salary.

You also have to consider the upcoming expansion draft. At this point you would have to assume the Flames are protecting Gaudreau, Monahan, Lindholm, Tkachuk, Dube, Backlund, and Mangiapane barring a big season from Bennett or a fall-off from any of those seven.
