But could it be a different one? I just don't like Bennett. I don't see why so many Pens fan do. Since the start of 2019 he has just 2 more points than Rodrigues, despite playing in 20 more games. His defensive numbers are average. He just doesn't do it for me.

100% we can. The question is who...seems to be the question to this mystery lately. I would be completely ok if we made one trade to do the above and call it day. Wouldn't cost much to give up ideally either.

Yah, the who question is a big one. I'm fixated on Scott Laughton, but I doubt Philly trades him, let alone to us. A big reason I'm not a fan of the Bennett deal is that he is not going to be protected by us in the expansion, he is an arbitration eligible RFA, and we have to pay guys like Teddy Bleuger and ZAR next season too. I would rather get a true rental than a commitment is what I'm saying.

his contract is over after this season. There is no difference between him and a true rental. You just don't offer him a contract and off he goes.

The real issue on this is all the eggs being placed in a baskets of Bennnett bouncing back. If he doesn't you are probably worse off than where you started.

Yah, I was thinking about player elected arbitration, but that only takes place after a qualifying offer happens. You are right.
