I would not call any of these situations "playing up with Gaudreau".
The one exception is the ever-brief period with Frolik. You may however note that Bennett had 5 pts in those 4 games and strong underlying numbers. To say he couldn't run with it would be a bold lie. Hartley chose to reconstruct the Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler line, but perhaps that had more to do with the struggles of those other two during that stretch away from Gaudreau.
Because it takes two sides to make a trade.
And one of those sides, is a general manager who has not traded the player away. Why has Brad Treliving not traded this player away?
You're operating on this assumption that no one is interested in him. This is a league where a general manager traded a first round pick (Matthew Barzal) for Griffin Reinhart. Where a general manager traded a second round pick (Alex Formenton) for Curtis Lazar. Where a general manager traded a second round pick (Rasmus Andersson) for Sven Baertschi. You sincerely think no general managers have ever made an offer for Sam Bennett?
The only executives who've ever commented on Sam Bennett to my knowledge are Brad Treliving and Craig Conroy. Both of them have explicitly stated that they see him as a centre.

The devils apparently didn’t want him as part of the Hall trade.
