I'd say that this deal, alongside Bjustad's deal in Florida (6x4.1M), actually presents a unique opportunity for the Flames and Bennett. We could see Bennett get a 6 year deal in the range of 3-3.5M, which I think would be fantastic. It'd then give us an extremely solid centre base for the next 6 years (assuming Backlund signs something like 8 years, 5m per).
