More or less, ya. I don't think he is good enough to be a second line centre, likely a second line winger, and as such the team should be at least contemplating using him to get a more needed asset.

Disagree. As strongly as possible. A team needs more than 1 quality centre. The idea that because you don't value him as much as Monahan/Gaudreau/Tkachuck he's a forward that can be shipped out is beyond perplexing.

And I don't see Sam Bennett being a second line centre for a cup contending roster, so if you can get a player in a different position that contributes more to the success of the roster then you should look at it.
I know there are many posters on this board allergic to trading anyone off the roster that isn't bollig or mason Raymond(see discussion on moving glencross), but in NHL trades you have to give to get and unless you want to give Hamilton gaudreau or Monahan, Bennett is the next best choice.
