No, in theory, this trade makes sense because Bennett possesses skills that the Sabres lack, but I cannot ignore the fact that it took Bennett an eternity to register his first point of the year. Reinhart has also outscored Bennett in each of the past 2 seasons, last year by an eye-popping 21 points. Tim Murray made a mistake with his first selection in the 2014 entry draft, but it wasn’t choosing the wrong Sam.
I do however think that Sam Bennett is an interesting low-risk target and one I hope the Sabres consider if they have the opportunity.
