Benning could learn a thing or two from Gillis about cap savings

Hopefully he pans out and scores more then 40 points this year or else JB and co will get ripped again during the summer summit! Also you gotta look at this it could be a steal of a deal if he puts up points! In Pitt he was behind malkin and crosby now in Van he will be just behind hank plus more playing time on pp/Penalty kill hopefully with all this playing time equals more points!
