If the alternative is paying Sam Bennett $4M a season, they would break out in the ####ing dance of joy to dump the risk on another team. Sam Bennett has proven he is a 25-30 point player, even with favorable ice time. He's a $2.5M player tops. Someone offers $4M a season, you say screw the Uber and you drive him to the airport yourself.

Disagree. Bennett is what he is. It's been 300+ games. He's a 25-30 point player with limited upside. He may get to the dirty spots on the ice, but his shot does n't beat NHL goaltenders. He may play with an edge, but when you suck at everything else, there's not much worth paying for. He's a slightly better version of Jake Virtanen. No one with a brain in their head pays $4M for that level of player.
