I'm all for giving Bennett more time with Monahan and Gaudreau to see if chemistry develops. It it does, he will add some grit to that soft line.

He buried it when it counted. I don't care if he doesn't score a lot if he can bring his clutch play from the post season into the regular season. I have been as hard on him as anyone, but he pulled through last night.

Honestly, I don't think he brings back much in a trade considering his alleged trade request, publicized poor performance, and shortened COVID season. It might be best to work with him and see how it pans out after more games. The best case scenario of him turning it around outweighs the worst case scenario of trading him for what would likely be next to nothing.
