I agree that his chances of being a #1 guy have gone the way of the Whalers. I do think he can be a decent third line guy but if you can find a team that still thinks he has the pedigree to be that good and they're willing to pay for it, trade him.

I'm fine with trading Bennett, providing its for more of his "potential" than his value now. If the best return they could get on Bennett would be a second round pick or another young player that isn't doing what they thought he would, keep him. At this point he looks like he'll be a decent third line guy and there's nothing wrong with that. If a team thinks he can be a #1 and is willing to pay a lot for him, trade him. Young third line guys are valuable too, they just need to bank on him only being a third line guy and nothing more(if he's better it's a bonus)
