I personally believe in our group and am not an advocate of trading Johnny!
But if there was a way to trade for Jamie Ben than I would have a hard time saying no!
So my question is who says no to the trade?
Johnny Points in 5 years 387
Jamie point in 5 years 377
Johnny Age 25
Jamie Age 29
Johnny salary 6.75 for 3 more years
Jamie salary 9.5 for 6 more years
Jamie Benn is coming off his worst season since being a rookie and there was lots of criticism by the ownership group early on in the season. Dallas has failed to make the conference final under this core group. Maybe its not that far fetched to believe that Jamie Benn would be untouchable.
Pipe Dream!

I really like Jamie Benn but he's close to 30 and has the whiff of a player that could decline sharply in his 30's. I would only take him back in a trade that involves Neal going the other way to balance the risk as there's a good chance Ben's contract starts looking pretty bad in a few seasons.
