There's some risk to this, but Bennett had nothing to gain from accepting a low-ball offer with one year away from UFA.
Bennett was not getting 3.4 million for 4 years lmao. He would’ve taken a one year and then we’d be screwed.IDk. Seems 1M$ too high

I agree. What does everyone think he would get as a UFA after next season? More than 4.4 I would bet!Bennett was not getting 3.4 million for 4 years lmao. He would’ve taken a one year and then we’d be screwed.
The Bennett contract isn’t even terrible if he stays a 30 point player. He will PK and aggravate other players and that costs money. He would be 1-1.5 overpaid at that point maximum.I understand thatt because he gave up UFA years. Just that I dont wanna be losing Barky/Huby down the road because re-up Reinhart, Bennett and maybe Vergh. Verghauge expecially if he gets a 4x4 or more extension based on one season

If he had a 55-70 point season he’d be shooting 6 mil.I agree. What does everyone think he would get as a UFA after next season? More than 4.4 I would bet!

It’s hilarious. The main boards are so salty too. They know Florida is about to f***ing dumpster them during the season. Tampa gave them nightmares and now another Florida based team is going to as well. Life is goodFlames fans are forever salty about Bennett
Barky is coming back. Huby is the one I’m very interested in.Its not terrible deal. Its just every signing we make just scares me more and more we losing Barky / Huby. I dont wanna lose either. Love the guys
This is where I'm at. It's maybe 600k too high given the small size sample, but OTOH, if he has a 60 point, 20 goals season (which looks realistic given that he was scoring at a 1.33 ppg pace and 0.33 goals per game during his 15 games with us), then this will actually be a really great contract. It's somewhat risky, but the potential gain is a physical top 6 guy for 4 years at a cheap price and the odds for this outcome are pretty good.There's some risk to this, but Bennett had nothing to gain from accepting a low-ball offer with one year away from UFA.

Ideally I'd have liked a little less money but that would have come with less term; this is a good gamble to take. A solid B from me for the deal.
Exactly I can see why the price is what it was. He has so many elements to his game that are attractive.You also have to add a bonus for him not taking shit from anyone and ready to drop gloves when needed. That's pretty rare for a top six guy.
