Bennett, 24, was the Flames&#8217; first round pick (4th overall) at the 2014 NHL Draft. He developed a reputation as a strong playoff performer, but an inconsistent and occasionally frustrating regular season player. He heads to Florida as a pending restricted free agent.
Heineman, 19, was Florida&#8217;s second round pick (43rd overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft. He&#8217;s a left shot winger from Leksand, Sweden currently playing in the SHL playoffs for Leksands IF. He has 13 points in 43 games as a teenager in the SHL; that made him 13th on his team in scoring.

All-in-all, it&#8217;s a fantastic return for a player the club was likely losing to Seattle in the expansion draft.
