Bennett's contract might be bad when his body starts giving out because of physical play but it's "only" eight million, this isn't star or even 1st line money anymore.

After they signed those contracts the team was never a contender again...Toews scoring 52,58,58 points for 10.5M, sound familiar? (especially considering the cap) was obviously not good value. Sure Kane performed better but the team was bad.
You trade that for two cups obvioiusly but that isn't the conversation...will the contract be good?...this contract not his last.
That being said I am not agreeing with them, to have Bennett there over Nurse is laughable...just saying I get why the Bennett contract might not age well, guy has already struggled to stay healthy the way he plays. It shouldn't be on the list now though over Nurse and Pete, probably others.
