Worth/value is incredibly hard to figure out. Especially when you look at value across the league vs to that specific team.
Was Curtis Lazar worth a 2nd round pick for a reclamation? That's a really bad look now.
I suspect there would be a lot of teams that would eagerly trade a 2nd for Bennett, but I don't think Treliving would/should consider it because as I said originally, they view Bennett's worth to the Flames team as more significant than that.
My original question that you objected to was "If you only get a 2nd round pick for Sam Bennett, is it worth it?" For the 2019/2020 iteration of the Flames and for Brad Treliving, I think the answer is a strong no.
