This fanbase is so fickle and impatient. Again, Sam Bennett is struggling for sure. But he was also our best player in December, leading the team in points for that month. He's also been our best even strength forward in both playoffs he's been in. Giving up on him would come back to bite us in the ass big time.

What if a package for him landed us a Mike Hoffman? Guy could be a big help for us this season and the next 2. I don’t know how Bennett’s development will go into the future, but I’m not sure he’ll find the consistency he needs to be a legit top 6 forward until much later in his career where we likely won’t benefit from.
