I would think there would be a premium to make a deal inside the division, which is why the Canucks don't have the assets. Treliving is not going to make a deal that could blow up in his face in a very public way, not when he's likely on a short leash himself. Even though the likelihood of Bennett coming back to haunt the Flames in any meaningful way is slim, the smart move is to not move a player to a team you are competing with for a playoff position. The nice thing about a deal with Vancouver, they wouldn't have to worry about facing "Playoff Sam" again.
