Value of: Jamie Benn

[oconnor9sean]

Jamie Benn is very much probably not leaving Dallas. This is purely a hypothetical to get through the summer.

Assume Benn had a massive falling out with the Stars, and refused to sign and demanded a trade before the season started. What would you offer for Benn?

gonna be similar to shattenkirk situation, a very talented player with 1 yr left on their contract

But worth 10 times the amount

yup.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Pittsburgh gunning for a nother cup.

Benn + lehenton
for pouliot Sundqvist 2 1sts a 2 2nds Fleury and Kunitz.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

He'll likely get extended before the end of the summer from a Kopitar 80M/8y contract to a Kane/Toews 84M/8y contract. Or more? Then Seguin will get the same or more in 3y.

 

[tjcurrie]

All of the $$

 

[Rufus]

Pittsburgh gunning for a nother cup.

Benn + lehenton

Lol. Quantity doesn't get you quality. Fleury's a good piece, Pouliot decent. Everything else is pretty meh.

O I agree. But this is what I would give up without hurting are roster for a chance at going for another.

However imagine this gained at the deadline and then Dallas re signs Benn at free agency.

Nill laughs and immediately hangs up the phone. Then he calls back just to laugh again and tells Rutherford how awful that proposal is.

Yes I completely forgot how much ufas with a year left get. My bad

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Ok, I'll play along:

Assuming that Benn did request a trade, and would 100% sign with the team he's traded to, fair value from Montreal might be something along the lines of:

Pacioretty + Galchenyuk + Scherbak + 2017 1st

I wouldn't do that trade, but that's probably fair value I think.

 

[AcerComputer]

Whatever Seguin got for the Bruins

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Wouldn't move Price for too many people, Benn might be one of them if there was an extension in place

But worth 10 times the amount

Shattenkirk didn't request a trade. Benn's value would tank a lot if he demanded a trade with 1 year left on his contract.

 

[Super Cake]

If an extension was agreed beforehand:

1st + Stone + Chabot

Yes it is probably not enough to get Benn, but i am drunk. So please excuse my stupid proposal.

 

[TheOllieC]

Justin Faulk, Elias Lindholm, 1st.

 

[Satastic]

Shattenkirk didn't request a trade. Benn's value would tank a lot if he demanded a trade with 1 year left on his contract.

Well then 7 times the amount

 

[Kariya 9]

Ducks offer Fowler, Montour, Ritchie, Stoner and a 1st.

 

[SI90]

Dal Colle + Nelson + Mayfield + Lee/1st.

 

[SI90]

Whatever Seguin got for the Bruins

Seguin wasn't a star yet.


Benn is a super star and probably the most valuable LW in the NHL.

 

[Thorburnt]

If he publicly demanded a trade, then I think Laine for Benn 1 for 1 would be somewhat reasonable?

 

[93LEAFS]

To get fair value you'd basically have to let him have a rough agreement with who he's being traded to. I'd offer Marner or Nylander and a 2017 first.

 

[eternalbedhead]

O I agree. But this is what I would give up without hurting are roster for a chance at going for another.

However imagine this gained at the deadline and then Dallas re signs Benn at free agency.

But you're ignoring this crucial detail: if you want to acquire a superstar in a trade from a team who's not tanking you're going to have to hurt your roster.

In a deal sending Benn to Pittsburgh, Letang has to be the main piece coming back.

 

[Baby Ryan]

If he publicly demanded a trade, then I think Laine for Benn 1 for 1 would be somewhat reasonable?

Even then Laine would be considered a great, great success if he reaches Benn's level today. Benn is an absolute freak.

From the Sens, I'll just discard the demand comment, assume Benn 100% resigns and propose:

2017 1st + 2017 2nd + Hoffman + Zibanejad + Methot + Colin White

If that's not enough, switch Hoffman for Stone and add another pick.
But that 2017 1st would have great value... trust me.
I also doubt this would be enough.

I would essentially throw anything not named Karlsson in.
