Exactly, not sure posters have to jump from extreme absolute to extreme absolute on this site all the time. Yes, Bennett for Murray would be a trade that the Flames should jump all over if it was available, but no that doesn't mean Bennett is a bust and now sucks.
In fact if that was the case then Bennett for Murray wouldn't even be a realistic trade from Pitssburgh's end. Bennett's still a young fourth overall pick with a huge, albeit slightly lowered from draft day, ceiling.
