Not exactly going out on a limb. This is going to be a really quiet deadline day all around.

No one wants to take on salary right now, and no one usually likes to take on players with term at the deadline. Our UFAs aren't going to move the needle much for a team that is good enough to be a playoff team.

Might see Rittich or Ryan moved for chump change for teams that lose out on bigger fish. I hope Bennet is gone, but no one is going to pay a lot for him. They know he wants out and that the Flames probably won't qualify him.

Pittsburgh might have some old Beau Bennett jerseys still kicking around, so that might be a natural fit (they don't have to waste money getting Bennett jerseys because he isn't worth it). They can collect all the disappointing Bennetts.
