Bennett was expected to be the good player though. The guy that was supposed to make those around him better. Now he is the guy who needs guys to make him better. a 4th overall pick that requires others to make him successful is an abject failure.
Sure he is fine as a 3rd line guy, but that just means the club has to find someone else to do what he was expected to do. That's why dealing him should not be off the board. If he is what is needed to be part of something to upgrade what he has failed at, then it has to happen or the club is simply spinning its wheels.
