it depends on how much he is going to sign for before hand or if we have to sign him to a new deal. his contract is coming up and will be getting Stamkos money if not a little more (doesnt have the health history)

Either keep Benn for one year and let him walk, or trade him for a goaltender and a prospect. Like Benn for Lunqvist and Kreider would be a good deal for Dallas
I think you may have a different definition of "good" than the rest of the world.

I would like to say you can't trade enough, but look at the Subban/Webber and Hall/Larsson trades. I don't think there would ever be the desperation necessary in Dallas to make it happen, but who knows.
It seems you'd have to gut your team to make it happen. I think Nashville could make it happen. They have tremendous depth.

He would be a bigger free agent than Stamkos. I wonder if his reps would ask him to consider free agency to sign with a market like Toronto or New York?
I feel the Aquilini's would give him a LOT just to spite Tom Gallardi.

he said arguably. I could understand how some would few him top 5 for sure. Just last year he won the Art Ross, and he is much more than a 1 dimensional player. this year he was over a point per game too

For 1 year of Jamie Benn?
Pacioretty + 1st + McCarron/Juulsen/Scherbak
So a 35+ goal scoring LW to replace Benn, a 1st and one of our top prospects (excluding Sergachev)

He has said that he doesn't want to play in Canada or in a big market. He likes being in a place where he can have anonymity.

He may not be "the" best player in the NHL but he is in a cluster of talent right at the top. He is scoring like a best player in the NHL and there is allot more to his game than just scoring.
He is set for a monster pay day based on his talent and performance. A trade is not going to happen but I guess there is no harm in kicking around options for those who are bored in the summer.

Dallas is an attractive market for players and the team is building a pretty good base. My guess is Dallas ownership and Benn will both want to get a deal done.
Interesting take on Aquilini's opening the wallet to spite Gaglardi but you would think it would be the other way around since Aquilini made off with the spoils of the battle no? Either way I imagine Gaglardi is satisfied with where things are at these days they seem to have a good thing going in Dallas on and off the ice.

I am not from Dallas but one poster mentioned Dallas fans think they will announce the deal tomorrow at the Stars Party in the Park and that seems like it makes sense to me from a timing perspective.

Yeah there has been zero indication of a deal being worked out but Dallas likes to drop big announcements there

I don't want to get my hopes up, lest it doesn't happen tomorrow.
But I know he'll re-up with Dallas eventually.

I don't understand the proposals re: Pens, where people are talking about Letang or Malkin going the other way. I understand why Pens fans would say No to that, but I don't understand Stars fans not askin' for Murray.
I would have to think any Pit-Dal trade talk would have to start with Murray, and then some other dialogue about Pouliot, Sprong, and Kunitz.
I'm not suggesting the conversation ends with those 4 pieces going back the other way, I know that doesn't help Dallas "today" who are contenders "today". But there's no way Malkin or Letang are going back for Benn even if they're in the ballpark value-wise (even if you forget about the fact that OP said Benn put a gun to Nill's head).
Pittsburgh hates to exhaust the cupboards, but it's Jamie friggin' Benn. I think they have to consider it... with the hope that they can convince him to re-sign with a sweetheart deal.
