Value of: Bennett to Colorado

[The Merchant]

Dater is probably just talking out of his ass per usual, but what would the cost be? He'd be a great fit.

I don't see a reason why the Panthers would trade Bennett after how he has flourished there, and if he is available, you'll have over a dozen teams calling about him.

 

[JoeSakic13]

That’s not very nice. Leave his tires alone.

Dater hasn’t seemed to be accurate lately. But this doesn’t make sense for the Panthers. He’s got a pretty sweet deal and fits a huge need of not being soft.

 

[CanadianHawks]

I’d be surprised. Maybe Sam Girard if this were to happen ?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Lots of teams would be in on Bennett if made available. I could see the Avs being interested too. I can’t see Florida making him available though. That said I don’t typically understand Florida’s decision making so maybe this happens.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Dater is not a legit source. Would love someone like Bennett on the Avs.

 

[Laus723]

And he shouldn’t go anywhere. Reinhart? Fine. Duclair? Fine. Ekblad? He’s have to waive and Wes need a good return.

Haha lately? He’s been as credible as Eklund for quite a while now.

Good press conference questions though.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Seravalli and Gregor speculated on a Girard/Bennett swap about a month ago but it seemed like more of their own idea than what they were actually hearing.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

That would be awesome for the Avs to acquire him

 

[Zirakzigil]

That would be an amazing fit if true. But there would be lots of teams after Bennett if hes available.

As it is now, Bennett is an underpaid 2C. But as soon as next year, when Lundell takes over at 2C, Bennett becomes and overpaid 3C.

Bennett will be in a comparable position to what Girard is currently in.

 

[Backlund]

Bennett would be a good fit for them.

 

[violaswallet]

(A) Lundell has struggled a lot this year so not ready for 2C role. Luostarinen is good but more of a 3C on a good team
(B) only way this makes sense is if Florida gets Chyrchun but do the Avs have what that takes? 1st plus Newhook plus?

 

[Petes2424]

If Bennett is available, there will be several suitors.

Kicking tires is not a rumor

Why do people get mad at insiders when they lack basic reading comprehension skills

 

[Freaky Styley]

Not a rumor, nor even news. I mean of course McFarland called about Bennett, doesn't mean he got a nice reply. Believe it when I see it.

 

[violaswallet]

I wonder if he confused Sam Reinhart with Bennett? I think Reino is more likely to be traded this season

 

[Ararana]

Bennett is exactly what the Avs should be shooting for this deadline. Can slot into the 2C spot, and has term left (which is a quality Avs management usually goes for).

I'd easily do a Girard/Bennett swap.

 

[dez]

Dater reading Hfboards.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

1) Kicking tires on a player is far from a rumor of their acquisition

2) Your source is Dater

Lol

 

[Ararana]

I hate Dater as much as the next guy.

But Dater isn't smart enough to come up with that fit on his own. He's either really heard it (he does have some connections) or he's reading HFBoards again.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

It seems logical the Avs would want to try and get a center with some term. Not 100% sure they would trade Girard without getting another D man in the deal and/or doing another trade.

Take EJ and Girard out of the lineup and the bottom pair is really sad. Hunt, JJ, and MacDermid are meant to be your 7-8-9 D men, not the 3rd pair. Yeah, you probably get EJ back in the playoffs, but that means one of the three play real minutes, not to mention 2 of the 3 if there is any type of injuries.

What is the pure futures going rate for Bennett?
