If you are trading him now then yes.
Is Bennett going to be a better player than Stamkos? Doubtful.
Would Poirier break into their line up any time soon? Doubtful.
15th overall may get you a nice piece.
We are talking about a perennial 40 goal scorer. And there are what? 2 of those in the league?
For those reasons you wouldn't trade him now for that package. You would try and resign him or at worst trade him at the deadline in my opinion.
