I don't want to split up Dube and Bennett, but maybe this looks better if you swap Simon and Dube. Or perhaps we could get a capable top 6 RW in a Backlund trade to slot in on the second line... Or we have a surprise at camp (Pelletier, Zary?).

Did you trade Backlund for nothing? And you're ok playing a 700k replacement level player in our top 6? This is lunacy, i am sorry dude lol.
Trading Backlund or Monahan and hoping Bennett will magically be a better reg season player is also a very poor bet. If Bennett continues his play and is looking like a 50-60 point player by the trade deadline then you could consider it. Until then it's all just smoke and mirrors and could make Tre look incredibly stupid.
