I can't see how we would want to keep Bennett with Monahan and Duchene on our team.
My guess is it would have to be:
Bennett + Kylington (or similar higher end d-prospect) + other asset.
Personally, I don't like the deal. Duchene is already 26 and in the new NHL many players start to decline in their late 20s. Duchene has unfortunately wasted several of his prime years on an abysmally managed team. I'm not sure he's going to bring a winning attitude to the Flames, who assuming they acquired Duchene, would need to start competing immediately.
There's also too many questions around our goaltending to start competing now.
