Problem with option 1 this team could miss the playoffs altogether so it wouldn’t gen be 2 playoff runs.
I don’t see any reason for an American born player from the east to take less than market to play in a small western Canadian market he was just traded to less than a year before. I assume Pacioretty will want to cash in. If he can’t play RW he is a 3rd liner in Calgary.
I get your take though. Bennett is virtually worthless so if we get someone good for him you do it.
I am of the opinion that Bennett still has ample room and time to improve at the young age of 21 despite the fact he has been playing in the NHL for 3 years
