Speculation: Jamie Benn: already demoted to 3rd line LW

[Liver King]

Trade him to the jets to play 2c

can he play C?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Lucic + Bennett

I think Benn would be a nice fit in Calgary....although I hope Jim Nill would get a better return for him than those two.

Whether or not Benn would want to play there, that's another story.

 

[Mick Jagr]

can he play C?

Yeah, he played a bit of center prior to the Stars getting Seguin. He's better at wing though IMO.

 

[Oil Dood]

Lucic + Bennett

Lucic? That would be the worst move that Dallas could do. That is an awful contract.

hahaha, I was going by the reports that Benn is a third liner now, aim low. Would be interesting to see what Benn gets, not too many teams could absorb his cap hit but he still is the 'power forward' that some GMs would overpay for.

Like how Calgary overpaid for Lucic, I guess.

Or Nashville with Wayne Simmonds.

I imagine Benn would fall into that category as well if the decision was ever made to part ways. And I honestly could see him end up on a Canadian team, even if he's not usually one for the spotlight.

Yeah, I am honestly not sure which way it would go for a trade but the Flames will happily give you Lucic hahaha

Lucic and Seguin reunited after all these years? Might be fun to see.

Not a huge fan of Looch's contract but Benn's isn't much better (if at all).

I'd rather have Lucic at this point, Benn's contract is horrible.

 

[CapSpace]

If Dallas retain a bit I could see him traded to Montreal. And we will still not have a LHD.

I bet Jordie could talk him into it.

I wonder what Montreal would offer up for him though.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think he'll likely retire a Dallas Star.

We got lot of good prospects. Don't know if asshat Bergevin can let one or some go tho.

Dallas needs speed on their bottom 6.

I’d say Byron + 2nd + Alzner to balance a bit the salary (still saves 2M for Dallas). Byron can play anywhere in the lineup, awesome pker, top 5/10 fastest player in the league & good for 20g/year.

I’d take the gamble. Put Benn as our 2LW, move Lehkonen to 2RW (currently 2LW) until Suzuki/Caufield grabs the spot.

 

[HC7]

If Dallas was trying to spread the scoring out then Benn would be on the 1st line lmao

Random proposal idea

Shultz
Bjugstad
1st

for

Benn
Prospect
4th

Contracts a pretty much equal
Pittsburgh:
Shultz is 100% not with Pittsburgh next season
When Geno comes, no room for Bjugstad

Dallas:
rids themselves of Benns contract with no retention
They get a top 4 puck moving RD

I’d do this. Longterm cap seems bad for Pittsburgh, though.

well the one thing GMJR never cared about was the next year. so we'd worry about that next offseason

Not bad, depending on which prospect you're looking for.

 

[illpucks]

Benn 50% retained to Caps for Samsonov

Benn 50% retained to Caps for Samsonov

Easy no for a ton of reasons

 

[illpucks]

Benn on Caps would add ton of depth. And they still have Copley.
Benn - Kuznetsov - Wilson would be crazy

Caps don't need Benn.

Stars definitely don't need Samsonov.

It doesn't work.

 

[lawrence]

his heart is in Vancouver.

 

[Intangir]

his heart is in Vancouver.

His heart is still in its place, inside his body. His dedication to hockey and speed on the ice are elsewhere though, probably lost in a summer daydream and hoping to be found.
