Bennett = Anderson
1. Gaudreau and Jones are UFAs the same off season, so equal risk there
2. Hanifin and Bjorkstrand both have long term team control
3. Bennett and Anderson are both change of scenery/reclamation projects

Interesting proposal. Jones would be a huge pickup and would be an ideal partner for Gio. With Hall coming in that would help offset the downgrade at forward at the top end while improving the overall depth.
I think the trade works when factoring in the Hall addition. Not sure Columbus trades Jones but getting Gaudreau and Hanifin would probably be the type of package to get them to consider it
