But if he can play to that level and not miss too much time, it's a nice piece to have. But again if you go out and get this guy there is a good chance you end up exposing him in the expansion draft as your 8th best forward.
Could be Anderson doesn't want to be there anymore and has made that known. Your thinking on expansion is solid. I think that is why you make a deal of Bennett for Anderson and everyone is happy. They are players likely in similar situations.
