Both teams are in a tail spin and could use a huge shakeup. Flames move on from their core and dump Bennett in the process. All the contract terms matchup except Johansen has 2 more years term than Monahan.

Gaudreau edges Forsberg, but it’s fairly close and you could argue Forsberg’s game is more where the NHL is going. Johansen has zero goals and 5 assists. And just went on the COVID list so he’s not getting better soon. And he’s not good defensively. Edholm is better than Gio at this point but not really great. And Granlund would be a replacement whipping boy for Bennett.
ETA: Johansen’s contract is ugly.
