If I'm Benning and i was offered a 2015 2nd or a 2016 1st. I would go with the 2016 first because you never know what teams are going to drop out of a playoff spot. As of now I would say at least two out of Minnesota, Canucks, Islanders, and Ottawa won't make it next year.
^ I was looking at theirroster yesterday. They have 2 players over the age of 28, plus players like Morrisey, Petan, Ehler (barf he is soft as F) Plus some young roster players in Myers, Trouba, Schiefle, Lowry, Kosmachuck (in the AHL) Hutchinson, Etc
