I want to like this but I have no reason to believe Bennett will be even an upgrade over DSP, much less an NHL top six winger. The Penguins have needed wings for years and this guy can't click on a team with Crosby and Malkin.

You guys get a good player if he stays healthy. Hope he can have a season without injury once and make you guys happy. Have fun with Beau :)

Biggest issue is his health. If he can stay healthy, this should be a good move with the change of scenery and new opportunity for him.

He's got ability, just needs to stay healthy. If he can do that he can provide some depth at RW and buy the Devils time to find and build up the roster rather than overpaying too many FAs or rushing kids.

You guys are getting a good player. Now that we traded him he'll most likely play all 82 games and score 20 goals.

Nice for Shero and Bennett to get a second chance at this. I hope things work out better for Beau with a fresh start. He's a very good all-around player, a really smart playmaker, and an underrated skater and scorer. Hope he does well, and he could turn out to be a very valuable player. It was just never going to happen in Pittsburgh and he lost a ton of confidence. I think the Devils could be a good team and a good situation for him.
