That'd be nice but I can't see it happening with a former 4th overall with the ceiling/potential he has. Those other guys were long shots to even play in the NHL when they were drafted, where as with Bennett the question wasn't really "if?" but more "when?" and "how good will he be?"

Players with that pedigree rarely take deals like that.
