This assumes that Sam Bennett is going to become Mark Scheifele which is a huuuuuge assumption. I’m not at all saying that it’s time to give up on him, expectations should probably be dampened however. My post was in response to the silly MacKinnon/Eichel thing. This notion that Bennett is untouchable is ridiculous. If a GM offers something of value for Bennett then I think it’s definitely needs to be looked at because he has under performed thus far in his career. Most likely you hold onto him and hope he continues a Backlund arc. Or you try him on the wing ala Draisaitl and see if the offense comes then.
