Breaking down the trade it's obvious why those laugh at the thought of trading Bennet in this scenario.
Bogosian and Myers is basically a wash. They cancel each other out.
Drew Stafford has 9 goals and a UFA this summer, his value is effectivly zero. Perhaps that of a long shot young-ish goalie prospect? Enter Kasdorf. Another wash.
The deal boils down to legit but 2nd pairing prospect Joel Armia, 2nd round prospect Lemiuex and a late 1st.
Those last three pieces won't get Bennett.
