better to keep him to see if Peters can rebuild him
Man I am glad I don't have to be the one assessing how Bennett's 91 points in 57 games compares to Wahlstroms 45 points in 26 games in the USHL and how that projects toward NHL potential, but it is really dangerous to overvalue the shiny new toys. I don't think we really know what Bennett is yet and we certainly don't know that Wahlstrom will even be an NHLer in the next couple of years let alone at all.
