People keep mentioning that Bennett would be a comparable for Roslovic, for example. Which is true. However, Roslovic isn't signed, and doesn't cost the Jets anything to move. However, 'throwing in Bennett' would be a huge blow to our bottom 6.
Monahan + Bennett would have made the team worse this year. Does it improve the team long term? That's a different conversation. But when you have a legit chance to go deep in the playoffs, you can't just rip your team up in hopes that it helps down the road.
