Seems completely plausible to me. Failing upwards properly imo.

This i definitely agree with, I could see Benning having two unrealistic plans and it fortuitously worked out for him. While other teams (Leafs for one) were moving out salary to create room, Jim went in with 6 million dollars in room and probably two crazy plans. It does not seem like he had a plan other than some miracle where he traded Loui for OEL straight up or this inside straight that he got on the river.
