Also, the trade that was suggest is for a defenseman that has been a better offensive player through his NHL career than Bennett has.

Whose ignoring the regular season or sample sizes? Referred to both in my post.
Plus I don't like the term garbage. Too many penalties and not enough production ... easy to see facts. But he's also 2nd in the last three years for forwards in Calgary with 500 or more minutes in individual expected goals and 5th for individual high danger chances.
If the change in position has spurred some finish you had better get paid for that if you're moving him.
