Johnny and Bennett package that can get a big return. One player is ppg flashy star during the regular season and the other is a playoff beast.

How can you say that though? That’s once again ignoring the circumstances he’s been put in during the regular season. He has been playing wing to a player who is now scratched/won’t be qualified.
This sell-high notion is nonsense to me. The underlying numbers show he’s solid and has been hurt by poor linemates (and they have been truly poor linemates - he has had to play with the biggest anchors this team has had year in and year out), as well as some discipline issues due to immaturity/frustration. He’s now getting an opportunity to play at his natural position with actual NHL players on his line and it’s working.
