You consistently demonstrate a lack of understanding of player value.
Kassian was a guy who scored 10 goals in 42 games on a 1.75M dollar deal playing mostly 3rd line minutes. He's 24. Dude will likely play top 9, if not top 6, minutes in Montreal after which IIRC he's still an RFA.
Prust is making $2.5M as a slow fourth line grinder. He has negative value, because you don't need to pay $2.5M for those guys. Benning appears not to understand this as he's already paying $2.6M for Dorsett, which is itself a laughable deal.
Trading him for a conditional 7th would have been better for them.
