What's Bennett's contract status in 3 years?
7 years qualifies you for UFA, and I think 6 years lets you do a 1-year arbitration scenario.
So taking him to 6 years total would be bad, but - correct me if I'm wrong - the way Bennett's contract was used up, we have used all three years of entry level, but only 2 years toward UFA?
In that case, a 3 year bridge wouldn't be the end of the world... that being said, I'd still love a 6 year deal for under 5M (4.5 - 4.75ish) if there was any way he would do it.
