Bennett Connolly

I like that. Don't know of the narrative around Connoly right now, is he playing a ton of minutes in Florida? Is it something they would do?

Might have fallen out of favour.

That one looks great, Connolly would be a nice fit on the Flames and happens to be right-handed.

I would like something like this. FLA seems to have soured on Connolly and Bennett obviously wants out.

I would like this, he’s a solid 3rd liner who shoots right and has 20 goal upside, and a ring. He’d probably do well with Johnny+Mony, but we said that about Leivo too, but the flip side here is that even if he doesn’t fit with them, he improves the 3rd line enough that we can justify Mangiapane and Dube as the top 6 RWs without significantly worsening the 3rd line (Backlund as the 3C is great, Lucic does not belong in the lineup, let alone on the 3rd line, Simon’s been mediocre, Leivo’s been disappointing), getting some new life there that might spark some depth scoring is good.
