2. Bennett can slide over to LW as well, which Sheahan doesn’t do.

3. Bennett can possibly be the 3rd line center at the start of the 2019-2020 season if Sullivan desires.</div></div>

Bennett is a bust. Just forget about his draft position and look at what he is at the NHL level. The difference in value between the two guys isn't significant.

Sheahan can do that, though he would be best suited as the team's 4th line center.

He could but his Qualifying offer would be over 2 million. You aren't really saving money.

If you really want Bennett, it wouldn't take a lot to get him. And it would make more sense for him to take Hagelin's spot.

Thread: 3 Way Deal (Ott / Cal)
Brassard trade doesn't make sense. A cheap center capable of scoring 50 points is valuable, especially with Crosby and Malkin prone to missing games. Sheahan isn't as good. And that also means you have a guy playing 4th line center who isn't as good. And to do this for a draft bust (bottom six winger) and a depth defenseman? Insane.

Bennett isn't particularly valuable or good. Doesn't help in a Karlsson trade. Also sending Maatta and his reasonable long-term cap hit away doesn't make sense. An offensive RHD like Schultz makes far more sense for both teams. Penguins would still be left with three of the top four signed long term + Karlsson. Schultz's larger cap hit off the books also makes it easier to re-sign Karlsson as well. Regardless, this kind of package isn't going to work.
