Harley
Would think they’d make another move to allow Harley to get some time but that is a stacked, yet aged lineup. They want to win though, and taking Benn off the books makes the most sense for them. While we would acquire a potential star center in Johnston, who would flourish in Calgary, this means we wouldn’t have the cap room to re-sign Lindholm. So, this is the kind of retool-like move I’d like Calgary to make. It would allow us to grab a potential franchise player and also forcing our hand and moving on to new blood. I know it doesn’t matter anyway, as Benn likely never accepts to be here.

Not this trade again.
Johnston isn't being traded, and zero chance Benn waives for Calgary, or likely anywhere.
Johnston's value is sky high, as he's good and cheap, just what Dallas needs, as opposed to two UFA's to be they likely cannot afford because they traded Johnston.
