Hence taking on the boat anchor of Benn, it would be the only way we could at least stay on the line regarding him. I understand not wanting to trade the guy, but I doubt he reaches full potential behind Hintz, who is the more complete player. Hintz/Lindholm and Hanifin behind Heiskanen and Lindell makes that team scary to play against. They might even be able to sign Lindholm at a reasonable deal with a Hintz-like cap hit.
It was no secret the Stars played better when Benn wasn't on the team from being suspended. I don't even like Benn, but I would take him on for 2 years if it made we could have a decade or more with Johnston.
