Please don't trade bennett. Instead, please put him in a position to succeed by playing him with other offensive talent.
I really don't care what happens with this team this season. However, Bennett development is so crucial to this team's progression from rebuilding to a true contender. So unless they can trade for a young player with a similar level of potential, it's just not worth it.

I don’t believe in giving up on Sam either but to be clear, he has been given SO many opportunities with very skilled players since he was drafted. They’ve always tried to put him in a position to succeed but if he brings down the top line, you need your strongest performers to be put in a spot to succeed.
I think like most others have stated, he seems to just have confidence issues and maybe not the strongest IQ. I hope this is a new Sam Bennett out there and not the one that goes back into his mental cave. He or Jankowski really are the keys to making us a contender with three strong lines.
