Hahahahaha! Sam Bennett, 70 points in a season. I bet he won't get 70 points over the rest of his career. That's three years production based on his past track record. Hell, that's five years production at his current clip. 70 points in a season? Only if he's chained to McDavid for every shift.
If Bennett gets traded he'll get a very short string to produce then likely be out of the NHL in two years. If someone trades for him this summer he'll have one year to prove his contract has value, otherwise the other team will walk away from him and let him go UFA. Someone will then pick him up as a bargain basement contract, give him limited opportunity, and then send him to the minors when he doesn't produce and provides no value. There are better players for less money out there.
