I honestly can't believe the amount of people here that have given up on Bennett. I honestly think it would be a huge mistake to trade him.

I dare say we compare his development to our current 2nd line centre, and in my honest opinion I see very similar progress. Backlund was 25 before he had a 30 point season, and really only started peaking 2 seasons ago. If we were willing to wait for Backlund to develop until age 25 I simply can't fathom giving up on Bennett this soon.

Code:

             GP   G   A    Age at time
Bennett      236  42  47        21
Backlund     245  41  50        25
