I definitely think some of the outrage and impatience is over the top, but there is a lot of validity to the timeline of wanting to compete while Gio's still a top D-man and Johnny and Monny are in the middle of these current contracts.
I wouldn't be looking to move Bennett just for the sake of getting rid of him. At this point being patient rather than just taking whatever we can get is clearly the better option.
However, if he was a useful commodity in a package to land a player that is more aimed at helping us win in the next few seasons, it's definitely something to explore.
