I still don’t think Benny will be here come expansion time though. The player asked for a trade, and then got demoted to the taxi practice squad. If it weren’t for Ryan’s injury, I feel we’d already have seen a trade.

Toronto might be desperate for some grit with Simmonds out, wouldn’t be surprised to see Bennett over there. Would require overpayment, but if anyone would do that it would be Dubas.
