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.
Completely agree, which is why there should be zero fear in trading him away, even to a bitter divisional rival.
Read into it what you like, but it was a statement on Bennett's talent level.

Ha. Coming off the top rope!
Perhaps a little strong, but I can’t disagree. When Bennett ends up in Seattle, or elsewhere, no one in their right mind should lose any sleep over it.
