If even you are at the point of saying he's not improving then why keep him on the roster if there is a potential to improve the team?
You're making it out like this is a thread to run him down when that is obviously and repeatedly not the case. The argument has always been converting an asset to make the team better.
The point is, if Bennett is going to be a 4th line player for the flames moving forward, why not explore moving him to a team that might think he's more valuable than that, if that means improving the team.

What makes him not good enough? Bingo's been trying to argue that he's been plenty good enough as a 3rd liner.
He's got positive possession numbers, we're outscoring the opposition 8-4 with him on the ice, and even if you assume every penalty he's taken is directly his fault - 10 minor penalties is worth 2 goals against so he's still at a +2. So even if he's not improving, he's a perfectly adequate third liner.
Obviously if some other team wants to give up more than he's worth he should be available. But that's true of every guy on the roster. Why focus on Bennett specifically?
