Honestly I could see the organization feeling with the constant shuffling of Bennett for years that he just doesn't have a solidified place in the current group, and possibly being on the outs when it comes to protection with Mangi and Dube getting priority could seal him as a trade chip.

Retain on Bennett not Monahan. Why retain on a player with 3 years left when you can retain for a player with 1.
Monahan+Bennett is equally as strong as Laine+Roslivic for what the Jackets need but Laine’s upside could be the difference.
Do they want a center who is 26 with 3 years left who is a proven goal scorer?
Do they want a winger with elite goal scoring potential and only 22 who needs a new contract next summer?
I prefer Bennett’s edge and playoff performances more than the slightly better offensively Roslivic
