Sportsnet: Bennett has asked for a trade

[Mobiandi]

Compher or Donskoi for Bennett

No

 

[CraigsList]

Connor McDavid’s good buddy. I’d take him on the Oil and put him on Connor’s LW. Reunite the DRY line in the process.

Puljujarvi for Bennett?

I’d do Puljujarvi for Bennett.

would be funny if both panned out better for each team.

don’t think Alberta trades with each other though. I would guess that Bennett goes to USA.

 

[Bond]

Can't imagine they trade him anywhere but the US. Won't keep him in Canada

 

[Nazzlind]

what kindve role is he looking for?

Can he be a defensive 3rd line centre?

 

[Bond]

He's been less aggressive, hard nosed this season and it makes sense. He was promised to be put in centre and in a better position to succeed and it was broken. The bridge between him and the organization is probably burned forever

Who does he replace? He is the 4th best centre on the team

 

[Martin Skoula]

Kind of figured this would eventually culminate to this.

Just never had much luck in this organization, it’s crazy, because if Sam would have not busted, the Flames would have been sitting pretty.

Flames will point to his playoff level of play for most teams willing to make a trade. That means we don’t need your 2nd, 3rd rounders and your shite prospects.

Non-homers will point to his career high of 36 points and career -31 despite getting 60% ozone starts. 15 playoff games with a 10-15% on-ice shooting% doesn't magically make him more valuable than the average 3rd liner he is.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Surprised it took this long tbh, I thought the Flames have mishandled him from the start down to the present.

 

[toomuchsauce]

Buffalo needs to corner the market on high draft picks who can't do pull-ups and don't score points in the NHL. Tage Thompson + Mattias Samuelson + a pick of some kind? What would Calgary be looking for?

 

[Bond]

what kindve role is he looking for?

Can he be a defensive 3rd line centre?

Nah, he isn't really good at any one thing. Good when the whistles get put away

 

[crowfish]

Virtanen for Bennett

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Probably for the best. I never really understood why Monahan gets so much flack versus Bennett

Because Bennett is garbage.

With Chytil out, Rangers might look into this. Maybe Gauthier and or a draft pick? If Quinn refuses to play Gauthier I can see him being pissed as well

Yes it does.

I propose a draft disappointment swap:

Puljujarvi for Bennett?

Bennett wouldn't get Puljujarvi in a trade. Why would Edmonton do that?

 

[CamPopplestone]

Shows up amazing for the playoffs, shows very little in the season to justify giving him better opportunity, plus he takes a ton of incredibly stupid penalties.

Was hoping we could keep him long enough that Seattle would maybe take him over some of our other players

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Not a Rangers fan, but from the outside looking in I get the sense that Quinn isn't the greatest with younger players. Is he really the guy to turn Bennett around?

 

[Mobiandi]

Who does he replace? He is the 4th best centre on the team

He's better than Derek Ryan. Would have fit in well at 3rd line centre.

On the wing, he'd always fit in well with Gaudreau and Monahan but he never got an extended look there. But yet guys like Chiasson got 6 months with them

I propose a draft disappointment swap:

This is like comparing one stock that has an upward trajectory while the other has a downward trajectory.

That worked before Lindholm was moved to centre

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Value is pretty low... IMO seems like Flames best would include him in a bigger trade as the + type part of it?... I dunno

Unless they are happy with a draft pick that's not too high

 

[These Are The Days]

Because Bennett is garbage.

Well yeah. And it's just ironic how much more you hear about Monahan

 

[Mobiandi]

Value is pretty low... IMO seems like Flames best would include him in a bigger trade as the + type part?... I dunno

Last year he was rumoured to be offered with Hanifin for Hall and Vatanen

 

[Mrfenn92]

Tough player to gauge value wise

 

[M2Beezy]

What are CGY's need?

Jake Virtanen
