Versteeg is so useful to the Flames on the power play that I wouldn't move him. But we should try and move Staj an at 50% retained somewhere at the deadline if we can.

I think Versteeg would be an upgrade over Beau Bennett, yes. The last time Versteeg was dealt, was for Zykov and a 5th, at the time Zykov was fairly well regarded defensive prospect. If it was for strictly a pick, I would guess he's get closer to a second than a conditional 3rd. Despite playing on the 4th line he is still on the 1st PP unit and putting up close to a 30 point pace.
a 30 point ufa doesn't get you a 2nd rounder. Maybe a 5th.

Josh Leivo and a 5th for Sam Bennett.

He will give you offense in a 3rd line scoring role with PP time. He has 10 goals in less than 50GP in a 4th line roll with some untalented guys.

Leivo and Kapanen would be realistic IMO.

Leafs then let Bennett get his mojo back playing with either Nylander, Marner or Brown.

I think Bennett is a PITA to play against, we can offer more talent further in the line up to help get him back on track. I think Leivo can help Calgary. Put him on a 3rd line with Jankowski and 2nd PP unit in a shooting position.
