I think they could acquire a couple smaller named forwards to at least fill out the rest of the lineup. Not sure what else KD has in store.

I see it as a cap dump for FLA. They need to extend Forsling/Reinhart/Montour. Crunched the numbers and it's going to be tight. Lundell is the 2C of the future for them, I can see Bennett being the odd man out.

Kaliyev costs more, and the Kings aren't looking for futures regardless.

Bennett ain’t leaving for nothing. They’ll figure it out without giving up such an important piece in their offense. Like getting rid of ekbad
