No, its a statement of the efficacy of Sam Bennett and whether anyone should fear playing against Sam Bennett. Frankly, any team that has Sam Bennett on it going forward is likely not going to be very good, because Sam Bennett is not a very good hockey player. Relying on Sam Bennett to be a player of significance is a statement on the lack of depth and skill on your hockey team. That is the statement. If you are afraid of trading Sam Bennett to an opponent, you haven't been paying attention to the performance of Sam Bennett. He is not going to contribute in to a winner in any significant way, so having fear of facing him is a foolish position.

Bubble players between the third and fourth line generally don't seal the fate of a hockey team on their own.

Completely agree, which is why there should be zero fear in trading him away, even to a bitter divisional rival.

So if that is the fate of the team, then you can substitute the name of any of his teammates, and the statement has the exact same meaning

Read into it what you like, but it was a statement on Bennett's talent level.
