Bennett seems to be at an impass on his contract too. I wouldn't trade Bennett for most of the league, but for Pastrnak?
I think Backlund's coming out party last year makes a player like Bennett expendable. Trading from a position of strength to fill a need.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Pastrnak
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
That is as deadly of a 1-2 line combo as anyone else in the league aside from the Pens.
Bennett + Ferland for Pastrnak + Spooner
I could see something like that happen especially if the Bruins buy in to Bennett's potential.
