Bennett's playoff performance is what got this done. Doesn't matter at all whether that was him playing to his potential or engaging some other level, the fact is not only has he consistently had a physical impact in the playoffs he has produced at a thirty goal pace.
For Florida that's worth a second round pick and their 16th best prospect.
For the Flames, time to move on and accumulate some assets that have no expansion draft risk.
Win/win.

If every player on the Panthers did well and Bennett plays like himself in the playoffs and disappears in their lineup, it's a huge win for the Flames. It's still a good return right now as is. It'll be good to know that the Flames team as a whole was just pure pathetic during all playoff runs with the current core group and it's not just an anomaly that Bennett outperforms everyone during the playoffs. I'm banking on the Flames to win this deal hands down.
