If Bennett is the rental, its a waste of an asset. Unless there is another up and comer in the Flames' system that is going to carry the mail and let Bennett's crease crashing payoff again, a la Dillion Dube, I don't see another occurrence of Sam "Electric" Bennett.

I would roll the dice that playoff Bennett shows up rather than trade him away for a diminished return, yes.
Better than throwing a bunch of assets at a guy like Edmonton did with Athanasiou. I know that isn’t what you suggest doing, but with Bennett its better keeping the devil you know than overpaying for the devil you don’t know.
The “now you’ve lost everything” statement in your post makes little sense to me, since you are talking about a diminished return anyways.
My opinion. We can agree to disagree.
