Hopefully Holland will salvage something here.

On AA; I would be impressed if he has some magic beans to make this work. (he did manage to trade Lucic)

On Benning; he is a capable third line D for sure. Sign him with no trade protection. I cannot see him asking for high dollars.

AA is like buying a stock and having it tank, you only lose if you sell or let him walk. I would qualify him and I would take him to team arbitration to get teh slary moved down on a 2 year to about 2.o. if not let him walk and take your lumps and move on. There is always another fish in the sea and if he isn't going to be negotiable let him go see what the market will offer him, because no one else will give him a big deal either.
