An interesting take by Calgary4Life. I've never before considered the possibility that Bennett could be an edgy Backlund in a year or two.

What does anyone here think of the possibility that if management sees Bennett as more of a high end 2 way player, and given Backlunds upcoming raise, it's Backlund who is more likely to be on the move?

Does Bennett have the defensive zone chops to replace even 70 percent of what Backlund brings?

Would that 70 percent plus a top flight RW that we could get for Backlund in trade set the team back, or push it forward?
