Bennett wouldn't be my first choice. I think if this team is going to play the free agent market, they should go big or not bother. Adding a middle six center doesn't move the needle that much. If the team was already a contender, he would be a good piece to get you over the hump maybe.
Not that all big problems need to be solved until smaller problems are solved, but I wouldn't make them a priority either. There is lots of cap space now, but it won't take long for player salaries to catch up to a growing cap. I would prefer not to lock in to a player like Bennett only to have to pass on future opportunities that actually would move the needle.
