How about keep Bennett and expose Monahan in the expansion draft? Or just expose Monahan and hopefully he is picked instead of Gio. Makes this off-season a lot easier.

I have thought about how much better the team could have been if they made this move. I really think Bennett would have continued to thrive under Darryl and would have been a key piece as a 2/3 C. I know his return was flipped with other assets for Toffoli and Jarnkrok so who knows what happens there?
With both Gio and Monahan exposed almost certain the Kraken take Monahan. Zadorov likely is not acquired so that money and the Monahan money allow for the Bennett extension and Coleman signing.
Gio probably would have done the same minimum extension here and plays his whole career in Calgary.
