Florida is not going to let one of their top 3 forwards walk for nothing.
In the same line of thinking what will Tkachuk be getting in the UFA market as it must be a pretty sure thing that the Flames won't be giving him a 9M QO.
The non-Flames Bennett would solve a lot of team's problems.

Yeah....no.
That's not how it works.
If Bennett had 5+ seasons of being among his teams leading scorer, then maybe.
The fact that he has never once hit 30 pts since year 1 kind of squashes that.
