we're not looking to get worse

In Penguins case, this’ll make them better. Flames case, who knows. But for Calgary they have no leverage on Bennett.

tf u mean no leverage? he's an RFA and a playoff performer, if we can't find a deal for a decent RW we'll just keep him

Is this a joke? Bennett is already getting 3rd and 4th line minutes in Calgary, He wants out due to that fact he wants top 6 minutes not bottom 6 minutes.

Does he realise that the only place he might have even a sniff of top 6 minutes is on the likes of Detroit, Chicago, etc? If he can't even crack Calgary's top 6 he's not going to have much success on any other team that's not a bottom feeder.

He requested a trade. He wants out. He hasn’t played, isn’t good enough to beat out the LHD on the current roster. Underperformed so far in his career. He will not fetch much.

...do you know what you're talking about or are you just saying things that sound like they should go together? Bennett is playing, and isn't a defenseman. He wants out so he can play centre somewhere in a middle six role, he's been confined to 3LW/4C/4LW depending on the lines because of Calgary's depth.

I gave you a third like right handed RW and a depth defender

What more could you possibly want for a guy who asked for a trade and had a whopping 12 points last year?

A roster player would be nice. Neither of those guys would make Calgary’s lineup lol

Sorry buddy but Sam Bennett is a 4th liner, mayyybe a 3rd liner

AND he’s asking for a trade. Not a very valuable assett

He’s still worth more than two taxi squad guys lol, we’re not even shopping him and technically it’s only his agent who has requested a trade, the team was never informed of this. You’re not getting him for nothing. Provide something of actual value or we’ll keep our asset, that’s how trades work

He gone buddy. No team wants a guy that doesn’t wanna be there. Time to move on
