Sam Bennett is no Mark Stone. Even half of Mark Stone. If you can get a Mark Stone for Sam Bennett, you make that move every day. Mark Stone is a star player, Sam Bennett is a support player. Period.
Again it is not one for one. It is likely Bennett, Dube, 2 1st for a player that we need to find 8-10M cap space for.

You know who else was what he was? Lindholm. Came fans told us all summer that this 23 going to be 24 year old was what he was. Decent 2 way player with a real muffin shot. Somehow some way at the old age of 23 he was able to improve. Shockingly Gaudreau at 25, Monahan at 24 are getting better. Backlund was barely a NHL player at 22 now he is a legit 2nd line center. Backlund is a funny example because he are turning into the “Where R U Chris O’Sulliva” for Bennett.
