Bennett is so overhyped and close to busting. Pass on that one hard....
Maybe not for Gelinas, but I do think Bennett to New Jersey makes sense. He most definitely isn't a bust, he hasn't had a chance to get it together. His development has been hampered by injuries since his college days, when you watch him play, he clearly has the tools to be a successful player, you can't teach the skill he has. He just needs to stay healthy.
I know the Devils like their USA players, probably even more now because of Shero and Hynes. Shero said he wanted to add more offense, Bennett played well under Hynes.
I can see the fit, just not sure what a good return would be. I would ask for one of the Devils' 2nd round picks as that seems to be the value for players like him (look at Baertschi and Connolly).
If you guys pass, that's fine. This isn't a discussion for Penguins players, I'm just an outsider, checking out this thread for updates on Hynes.
