Absolute best case scenario - He starts with Sutter, plays well, pushes Perron out and JR makes a trade at the deadline to get a 1st from someone for Perron and possibly a solid prospect or maybe a Defenseman this team can use and Beau is in the top 6, healthy and producing.
This sounds like a pretty poor - and rather bizarre idea of best case - scenario. Perron is our best left wing by a pretty significant margin. A first, prospect or bottom-4 defenseman aren't going to help this team more than Perron. Plus if you move him what do you have on the left side? A declining 35-year old Chris Kunitz and a relative unknown in Plotnikov?
I hope that Bennett plays well enough to get an opportunity in the top-6, but that would be on the left side of Malkin and Kessel pushing Kunitz or Plotnikov down.
