Someone will give him 2+ in free agency.

If this deadline and the off-season goes the way I hope, I’d just qualify Bennett and get a 1 year deal in. Salary cap shouldn’t be a problem next year, and may as well pay a bit to see if Sutter can’t make something of Bennett.
Bennett as the #2 centre behind Backlund as the #1? Let Bennett give maximum effort and see where everything goes.
The hope next year should be that we lose as many games as possible while not committing any dollars long term. Benny on a 1-year deal, while Monahan is traded elsewhere gives us a 1-2 punch at centre that should help us land in the bottom-5.
