Based upon Benning's interview on SN650 today, I highly suspect that he's going after Karlsson this offseason. A right shot PPQB has been reiterated as his major 'want'. It's been that way for years. Karlsson is his shot at getting one without giving up assets.
Oh, absolutely. He and the owner are like two moron casual fans who get excited about every star player or former high draft pick who becomes available and then are terribly confused when those players won't sign for their crap team.
I expect we'll be all-in on Karlsson and Duchene (Karlsson is never, ever signing here) but will have no interest in the better and more signable Mark Stone because he doesn't have the pedigree or star power or high draft position.
