I still think the return was great and this is coming from someone who's been very critical of Brad Treliving. Actually, I thought Brad did very well at the deadline.
What he got for Bennett is not really the problem here, it's more so about why he had to trade Bennett in the first place. Bennett was not going to work with the pieces on this team and he ultimately would've been exposed to Seattle likely anyways, so probably good to get something rather than nothing.
Maybe if Treliving could do it again, maybe he doesn't ask for so much for Monahan and is able to facilitate a trade with Columbus or whoever else. My concern now regarding Monahan's ever dropping value is do the Flames even bother to look at moving him? Perhaps everyone's value will be so low that Treliving doesn't make a big change at all and we're right back to mediocrity again next season due to pure stubbornness.
