well, fair enough. But I question Bennett's value on its own. You're likely not getting back much more than a bottom 6 F/pairing D straight up. you might be able to fish a 2nd out of someone at the deadline, but doubt that interests the Flames too much at this point. I bet they are looking to add to the line up, not subtract for futures. what is a first in 2021 worth? it's going to be a total crap shoot in a year that was already being discussed as underwhelming before the pandemic. The Flames want to compete.
Miller provides a physical presence with some skill and scoring touch. He's easily a top 6 forward on the Flames, and perhaps a great fit with SM&JG. It was well documented Treliving was in pursuit of Josh Anderson. Who else out there could fit that profile? Based on what we have heard, I believe the Flames would prioritizing a player such as Miller if he were to become available.
