We don't need sam bennett just for hitting. That's a stupid reason to keep a player around, especially when we're already paying 6 mil for Lucic to do it twice as well.

You have to normalize the numbers though ... Lindholm plays a lot.
Last year hits/60
Lucic 14.5
Bennett 10.0
Tkachuk 7.2
Dube 6.8
Lindholm 5.0
Lindholm is literally half as physical.
I'm fine with trading Bennett, but they had better understand what they're trading.
He is physical.
He is a third liner.
He won't be more.
