This team needs less money tied up in players who vanish during key times. Give Bennett the ice time/role he’s actively earning right now and he’ll prove he’s pretty damn good value - and we have next season to see that come to fruition, so no risk there.
Bennett has 7 points in 8 playoff games while playing 4-6 minutes less per game than others who have produced similarly/more around the league. Ignore that type of production during key times at your own peril.

The question is where is his drop off? His value has to be high right now. The risk is, you hold onto him, he flops next season and playoffs. So yes there absolutely is risk.
