What would it take to get that deal done?
Johnny plus a first?

Lol
Benn is 31 years old. He had 39 points in 69 games this year, and 53 in 78 last year and he is clearly on the decline.
Oh and he has 5 years left at a $9.5M cap hit.
If you trade Johnny for that declining player with that contract you would be the worst GM in the league.
If you want to have a look at what Benn’s decline is going to look like then you have to look no further than his teammate in Dallas now in Corey Perry. They have similar arcs after turning 30.
