It's a difficult one, as for me personally I think he's a decent player... But when I put together the whole package he'd be more expensive than Owen Griffiths (who I stated i'd prefer), with not much more offensive output, that I think we could better spend around the rest of the team, so i'd see more value for money.
Hypothetically the signature of Ben might mean our budget sees us having to sign a Jesse Gimblett instead of a Justin Faryna.
I also hold that slight resentment that he left us short down the stretch during the record breaking season, and that extra body when Tylor Michel was banned might have given us the single point we needed to win the league. (I understand his reasons, wanting to play etc, but I'm a Devils fan so i hold a selfish view on that one).
