Kane is a UFA in 19 games and wants a raise on his $5.25M cap hit
Bennett has another year at $1.95M and is then a RFA.
He has more value than Kane who would carry a little more value if he didn’t have the horrible off ice reputation. Buffalo paid a ton to get him and didn’t even attempt to re-sign him. Winnipeg who NEVER trades players actually made a move with Kane.
This guy has baggage and should not return a 21 year old former top 4 pick.
