I would consider Bennett + 2nd in the off-season.
The problem with that though, is that you would have to protect Reinhart, leaving Backlund exposed.
Right now, the cost of acquiring a player (anything other than a pure rental) includes the cost of losing more in the expansion draft than we otherwise would have.
It is a big factor that will really inhibit deadline trades - along with covid protocols for Cdn teams.
