Why not? FLA broke up Barkov and Huberdeau, and it worked.

The Flames finally broke up 13 and 23 and it worked.
It's a little frustrating that when Lindholm was being floated as top line center, Treliving didn't really find a way to convert Monahan into an asset we sorely needed (a speedy, expansion-exempt rhs top six winger... someone like Owen Tippett...). The trickle-down of such a trade would have been an opportunity for Bennett at center along with a much better talent distribution on the wing. Visualize something like

Tkachuk-Lindholm-Mangiapane
Gaudreau-Bennett-Tippett
Dube-Backlund-(random waiver wire claim who is better than Nordstrom... like Nikita Gusev)
Lucic-Ryan-Leivo

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like that roster would be playing a much faster style.
