I think it's a more than fair offer but, if I was Florida I'd want to keep Bennett for another 1-2yrs just to make 100% sure Lundell can play that 2nd Center spot and have Bennett as insurance

Would you rather lose Reinhart for free or lose Bennett and get these assets?

There's a salary cap

You can trade a guy like Rodrigues or Knight, Bennett is more valuable than those guys so not exactly a dire situation

I don't think knight has a market right now. Rodrigues doesn't get this return. I doubt they will be able to keep Bennett anyways.

Yes Rodrigues doesn't get that value but, Florida is in their Cup winning window so that isn't a priority. Between getting a 1st and A-B prospect and losing your 2C or getting a 3rd and C-D level prospect and only losing a 3rd line winger, too me it's an easy decision.
Knight, if Florida decides to move on could still get at least a 2nd maybe more but, definitely not high on many teams boards

They will simply lose Bennett for nothing in a year. Lundell is ready for 2C.

They will have to make some tough decisions

I really like Bennett. Wanted him years ago when he was in the dumps in Cal-gary. And I think it's a solid trade (although I'd go '25 first instead of '24). The AAV might be a little high for my tastes, but I get it

That said, would you consider signing Elias Lindholm to that same AAV and term?

No

As long as he's not delusional about what his value is Panthers should be able to keep him at a slight pay bump.
Lundell should be ready but, I'd aim to keep Bennett for another 1-2yrs just to be 100% sure

Why not? And if it's not a hard no, what terms would be agreeable?

Just not interested in the player

I find it hard to believe that you're not interested in Lindholm.
