Both Benn and Seguin have nmcs so control their futures. If they aren’t getting along with deboer, might change things.
Seguin probably more expendable if lindy going back. 50% retention gets you seguin at just under $5m. Will need c if lindy goes.
So lindy for seguin at 50% retained plus bourque or stankoven and 2023 second.

Those NMCs are important here.
Your deal sounds plausible, but with the Flames taking on Seguin - even at 50 per cent retained - Dallas has to send more back. Seguin is a shell of his pre-hip injury self. Add a 2024 1st or 2nd and we’re close to deal that works for both teams.
Alternatively, Dallas deals Benn instead. He adds genuine quality to the Flames top-6, and with less term. The Flames could look for center depth elsewhere - maybe from a Hanifin deal (see below).
