Benn had a bounce back year last year but previously he had really underperformed. Given his age and 4 years left thats another 10 million that is likely poorly spent. Im sure Dallas would much rather have 20 million in cap space than those two for the next 4 years. Now with the Flames we have multiple contracts that could look like that. So even if Conroy does an amazing job these contract likely come back to bite you in the butt. If they were contenders now by all means go for it but to have to deal with these contracts later to maybe make the playoffs for a few seasons doesn't seem worth it.

Seguin and Benn have helped the Dallas Stars win seven playoff rounds since they’ve been on the team, and made it to at least the third round twice.
There are no guarantees, other than they for sure wouldn’t have won more without them.
