Saw the Zack Amith to Flames rumor thread on HF and the first Sens fan that posts thinks Bennett could be going the other way. I don’t move Bennett for Hoffman let alone Smith

Trading Bennett for a 28 year old would be a bad move. You want to make the argument for including Bennett in a trade involving Stone (25) and sure, that's an acceptable age hit - but not 28 (turns 29 in November).
And I want Hoffman, but not at Bennett's expense, and I don't think Treliving is looking to subtract contributing roster players.

Haha, nothing against the root of your argument but I just love that you felt the need to tell us he will turn a year older in ten months.

I dont think I’d do it straight across but I dont think a lot would have to be added. I know everyone wants Bennett to succeed, but right now its not looking good. We need scoring bad now. I dunno, I think I’d rather trade him than Brodie.

Wouldn't want to include a prospect & I don't think Ottawa would retain any money but, in principle, I would do it. Stone is the best player in the deal.

And even this season, as I showed posts earlier, is getting significantly more challenging zone starts than Monahan who's more or less sheltered as a offensive zone player.
This year is the first year that Couturier has been on PP1 in Philadelphia. Las year he had 2 PPP points with 1:49 PP TOI on average. His PP linemates? Travis Konecny and Dale Weise. This year he's playing on PP1 and has over 3 minutes a night of PP time, subsequently he has 10 PPP.
At even strength, he played with Weise and Schenn last year for the most part.
Monahan has averaged over 3 minutes of PP TOI for the past three seasons, playing with significantly more talent.
If Couturier gets Monahan's PP deployment and points of 17 last season then he's right there with him in total points of 55 to 58. This year it's not going to be close.
The craziest thing is that it's not even about the PP usage that's driving the core results. Couturier is tied for 2nd in the league at 39 ES points. Think about that. He's starting 57% of the time in the defensive zone and is second in the league in ES points. Incredible.
I'm waiting to hear the statistical argument for why you think Monahan is in the same conversation as Couturier, let alone better.
|
Because he's done it for more than half a season.
No question that Couturier is better defensively.

I don’t think I move Bennett for Hoffman... he is still too raw of a talent to give up at his age versus Hoffman who was a late bloomer and is starting to peak at age 28.

Ya I understand that argument. That said, I doubt Ottawa would do that deal either. Bennett’s value league wide is way lower than anyone here would admit.

Of course Hoffman is more valuable now as a player but in 1 or 2 years that has a more than good chance of changing and Bennett will have another 3-5 years of prime on top of that; I don’t think Treliving does that trade IMO.

If we are getting hoffman it will be a package around prospects/picks. Sam is too valuable now and in the future for calgary.

You honestly believe this? Sam has been handled with kid gloves by the Flames and he looks nothing but lost 90% of the time. Has he had a decent shot on goal in the last 4 games?
It's one thing not to notice Travis Hamonic, it's another not to notice Sam Bennett.

GMs are concerned with what the player can be, not what he did over the last 4 games for another team.
Fans are very "what have you done for me lately?"
