Bennett is still a lot more experienced than Lundell.
I think this is how the lineup shakes out to start the year, barring any more major moves:
Tkachuk-Barkov-Duclair
Verhaeghe-Bennett-Reinhart
Cousins-Lundell-White
Lomberg-Luotsarinen-Hornqvist
extra: Balcers
Forsling-Ekblad
Montour-Gudas
Staal/Del Zotto-Carlson/Sjalin
Bobrovsky/Knight
That defense needs work. Trading Weegar still makes no sense to me looking at those other offers. They could have got the deal done with Huberdeau and the futures alone.

Well, they are already over the cap, and Weegar needs a contract. They’d have had to move someone else making whatever he was going to get.
