It's implied, Jason. People saying "15th, Backlund and Klimchuck" are missing the fact that Toronto would be asking for Bennett or Monahan or Gaudreau. We all expect Treliving to tell Shanahan to go pound sand, but this is what they would want, and this is what they would ask for.

It isn't implied when the post exactly says "no matter the cost". Exactly the opposite.
If a player of Kessel's skill is available, you do all your homework. IF the trade price is too high, you decline and move on.
I don't think 1 poster has suggested trading Bennett. In fact, no-one outside of maybe a Toronto message board has posted this.
If Toronto wants to get out of the contract and he is actually a distraction no one will be giving up that return, and the price will drop.
