If the answer is no to both of those questions then you don’t trade Bennett for Pacioretty.
I am a believer in Bennett if we hold on to him. If both he and the org are ready to move on for a fresh start then we should be targeting young players in return. By young players I mean 25 and under.

I'm ok with option 1, but as I said above I think it's because I fundamentally don't see the value in Bennett and his potential that some of you all do. And personally I think we could get him cheaper on the next contract depending on how his role has changed with our team and how he performs. His contract right now is also low enough to potentially allow us to add even more next year for a longer playoff push if the team shows it is good enough.
