As a straight up trade I imagine he'd fetch an early 3rd round pick. Package him for an early 2nd +.
Bennett's a Chris Bourque type guy. Exceptional AHL player but can't produce at the NHL level.

Why? I cannot understand this line of thinking... I'd rather see Bennett's potential play out on this team than trade him for a 3rd round pick. Jesus Christ, a 3rd round pick is more often than not, absolutely nothing of value. We don't need a 3rd round pick that likely won't ever play, or if they do it won't be for 2+ years. Right now, Bennett is very solid depth, which is clearly important. And you would trade him why? Because he's a 4th overall pick that isn't blowing the roof off? Who cares, he's a good player who is better than 99% of 3rd round picks... not to mention the fact that he's playing very well at the moment, Peters bumped him up the lineup... but yeah trade him now, for a very low odds lottery ticket.
