And it's not like they're separated by age much, only two years.
Going with Monahan, Duchene as your 1-2 is great but if you're moving Bennett I'd rather see what else is out there besides top picks. Similar valued blueline blue-chipper that sort of thing.
Interesting thought though.

Agreed on moving Bennett for a defender. I think ultimately that's the best way to proceed, a 1 for 1 defender for centre swap, but with the way Bennett has been playing this year I don't know if those trades are out there anymore, at least not for the quality of prospect I'd want back in return if the team is going to subtract bennett.
