Whether it's Monahan or JG, or both, I expect one of two outcomes. Either it's a high end player as a target, in which case I'm ok with anything approaching a 1 for 1, or even Calgary adds.

Scenario two is filling holes for all organizational weaknesses. For example, if there is a trade with Buffalo, I would want Cozens, 2nd round pick, Casey Middlestadt and Colin Miller. One stop shop.

Having Bennett as the #3 centre for the whole season is a no-brainer (if JG is traded). Having Bennett as the #2 centre for the whole season is a gamble (if Monahan is traded), but might be well worth it if he is dropped to the third line in the second year, pushed there by a better player. Bennett would have a wealth of experience, and the depth would be all the greater.
