Nows time to trade him

 

[Stive Morgan]

I like his play but I think we should sell while his value is still high like we did with Weise (we got Romanov and Fanault remember)

plus Juulsen is more than ready to replace him

Trade him to Pittsburgh.

He'll join new teammate Tristan Jarry and together they'll be known as "Benn & Jarry's".

And Pittsburgh had interest in him last year

 

[DangerDave]

I would swap him for a really good 4th line player. Juulsen can easily take his spot right now.

Maybe a young player that is waiting to have his chance like when we had Danault ?

Prospect + 3/4th pick

That would be called hitting the jackpot. I don't think the interest for benn is high. Best bet is to find a team that needs a spare bottom RD just in case for the playoffs and work with what they have.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

He has a good attitude. He won't get traded any time soon IMO.

If they are more then one team that one a veteran steady 3rd pair defenseman we could be surprise of the return ! He is the kind of player DG wants to add to there team at the deadline and with the season he’s having and with his low cap hit, I think they will more then 1 team interested.

Interesting enough, last TDL, Francois Gagnon had tweeted that Benn was traded to Pens but he didn't know what the return was. We now know that didn't happen. But I remember reading his tweet. Moments later, they announced that they traded Morrow to Jets for a 4th.

I'd be extremely surprised if Benn isn't traded by deadline. I think his play the last few weeks has upped his value. Where I thought that he would probably bring in a 5th or a 4th, I think now he can bring in a 3rd.

I could see the Wild, Dallas and Colorado being interested. COL have Ottawa's third.

We want Ottawa's 1st from the Avs!

A third would be pretty good but I'd honestly prefer an Armia type trade. Get a useful bottom 6 guy who can fit long term for basically nothing. Take in a cap dump and get a couple picks on top

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

I always thought he was solid reliable 5th NHL defensive-Dman and sort of better of the rest after Petry, took some time to prove it, the rest are to me 6th/7th D, including the ones that we now sent in the AHL. Hopefully, our younger Ds surpass him pretty soon; he shouldn't be playing 20+ minutes.

Aj Greer + 3rd pick

Huge in the room too, apparently. So we shall see.

 

[Kriss E]

Mete Weber
Kulak Petry
Benn Folin
Reilly Juulsen

That’s not including any newly acquired D which would be difficult to see us not getting. That’s not stacked but certainly no current holes in the lineup for a prospect to take. He’d have to beat out a player and earn it at this point.

No current holes? lol...That defensive group is terrible. Juulsen? Lol, the hell has he done? Folin..Benn...Jeez Louizz...
He needs to beat out Benn? Oh lordy lord, how will he ever manage to do that!

Some people need to raise their standards, LOL

It's quite remarkable actually..

 

[Habs Halifax]

Does any one else love
Mete-Petry
Romonov-Brook
(draft/system/trade)-Juulsen

But also realize Webers time will end eventually and most likely before they become top 4 D?

Does trading Weber make sense to solidify our D core for many many years? I don't even know myself im just thinking thoughts....

Trading Weber is a good move if we get the return we want. However, he is our captain and I don't believe they do it. Not with Bergevin as our GM. I think that talk might happen if we have a set back year next year but if we continue to be a fringe wild card team in the next two seasons, Weber is here to stay. Not sure what happens in the expansion draft cause he will be 36 and 37 in the two seasons after.

Romanov with Brook down the road does appear to be a fit for our potential top pairing. Without Weber, I see it this way...

Romanov / Brook
???? / Petry
Mete / Juulsen
Fleury

I think within the next 2-3 years we will ride Weber-Petry-Mete as our top-3 while everyone is developping. I definitely could see Bergevin giving some good money to Edler for 2-3 years to strengthen the top-4. Don't forget Alzner is also signed for 3 more years, I wouldn't be surprised to see him rebound to be honest. With Price playing well and all our depth up front, I think that D could hold up for the time being.

After the expansion draft is when I think we will see most of our prospects become regular. I think Weber, Alzner, Petry and (Edler) would be gone by then. So yeah, Brook, Romanov, Mete, Juulsen and Fleury should be our main cogs with maybe a UFA or trade for a veteran added in.

Worst comes to worst Weber is staying and is basically our #6 guy

Can’t deny Benn is having a terrific season, whether you like him or not.

20 points and played well on both side of the rink. I think any team would take the Benn of this year on their team.

He sucks balls. Pass.

Lmao. Funny how it works in Montreal. You’re either a superstar or you suck. There’s no in-between.

Benn is a decent NHL player and successful teams NEEDS players like him.
