Maybe go for a more a futures trade and do Bennett for Kirill Marchenko straight up?
Don't see anything from Toronto that is interesting, at all. Anaheim is a better fit, but there would have to be some work done on the cap. Rakell or Silfverberg would be a good add, but the cap imbalance may be tough. Flames would have to add a kicker to make a deal work value wise as well.
A team I would talk to is the Rangers. See if they can shake loose Julien Gauthier. Big RW that is a smart player. Maybe go after a guy like Austin Rueschhoff, another huge RW but with limited pro experience. Someone with size a natural right hand shot is a pressing need on this team.
