This thread just goes around and around on circles haha

In order to send him on a conditioning loan, he has to be activated on the NHL roster, which would require sending Granlund back as well to make room on the 23 man roster. It would reduce Hartley's flexibility when putting together the lineup.
Also, if Bennett is on the NHL roster at the trade deadline, he would not be eligible to play for Adirondack in the AHL playoffs. Again, that limits their options with what they can do with him down the road.
