Except in a situation where GMs know Bennett is available, numerous other teams will make better offers that still save Florida money. Mitts + 2nd would be the bare minimum I'd guess. Bennett would be a fantastic add to our team, but it isn't gonna be as cheap at Mitts

Quoting: Skyraider112

Which teams can, or are willing to, offer a player of Mitts' caliber that costs $2.5mm or less? There aren't many players, especially experienced Cs, that make $2.5mm or less. Plus Mitts has another year left + will still be an RFA.

I highly doubt FLA just wants draft picks.

I wouldn't add a 2nd round pick to this deal.

However, if you want to trade Bennett, this is not how you do it. Decline.

Bennett is a perfect example for all BUF fans trying to trade Mitts for peanuts. FLA acquired Bennett for Heineman + 2nd

Bennett 18-23: .35ppg
Bennett 24: .56
Bennett 25-26: .70

Mitts 18-23: .41ppg
Mitts 24: .60
Mitts 25+: ??
