I think we may have to look at Backlund in the deal, where his value is super high right now. Bennett's potential doesn't really factor in when trading for a player who is great right now.
We have to trade talent to get talent. If this kid is for real, we have to be realistic with what we trade for him. I could see Bennett with some of our non NHLers, but they have to be major prospects. Fifth round picks certainly don't cut it.
I don't want to see Backlund go, he offers a lot more than just points.
