Now, lets be a little more accurate than what you're portraying here.

Barclay Goodrow was traded along with a third round pick to Tampa for a career minor leaguer Anthony Grego and a 1st round pick. That turned into the 31st pick (Ozzy Weisblatt - hahaha) and Tampa got back the 85th pick. So the trade wasn't straight up and I think a reasonable comparison for Bennett. We get a 1st and package a third with him.

Blake Coleman was actually a pretty good player to trade for, coming off of a 22 goal season and then having 21 goals in 57 games. Tampa liked him so much they threw them Nolan Foote and a 2020 or 2021 1st. I don't think that's a good comparison to use for Bennett.
