Stars do not trade Benn, they made it to the semi finals and lost in game 7, he is their captain and the face of the franchise.

Unless the owner wants him gone. See Ron Francis trade to Pittsburgh as an example of a star player getting moved for "no reason"

If they make this move the roster looks really different.
FIrst Gunz is playing his natural LW position. Which means McCann is down on the 3rd line. Which is ok, and seems pretty normal.
That also means SImon is a 13th skater which he should be.
The real issue I have with it is how weak does the RW look after this.
I mean there are only 2 natural RW on the team.
I'm not saying I'm against this move. I'm not.
But it's a lot of salary coming in at 30 years old till it's 35 who's stats fell off a cliff last year, and doesn't solve the issues it just moves them around a bit.
You add in the fact that this team doesn't even really have a real RW prospect and it's looking slim.
