Bingo!
The guy's trade request was made public, that's different from someone (who exactly?) that quietly asked the GM to be moved but continued on and won a Cup.
The guy barely makes any impact on the ice. This isn't some good player that is still helping the team. This was a player that at that point had 2 points on the season. Where is the upside to play him? We know what the downside is to ruining a team atmosphere. The team has seemed very disinterested since the news broke out. Coincidence? Maybe. But still, where is the upside?
Is Trelving gonna get a 1st rounder for him at the deadline or at the draft?
I just don't think you risk team chemistry for a guy of Bennett's pedigree.
And to be honest, he is lucky to be playing trade request or not. If he were not a high draft pick would he be getting these opportunities?
Just take your 2nd or 3rd round pick and let the team move on.
