Even if Bennett fully develops is he really going to be worth more than $5.5 million? If Gaudreau and Monahan's deals are any indication, I bet not.
So you're basically making a $35 million dollar gamble to possibly save $7 million dollars. Just doesn't make sense.

Make the aav less then. If 4.5 per is too much, how about 3.8-4? The final number is Tree's job. My point is it makes more sense to sign him long term using the benefit of the slow start to his career to keep his cap number low. Signing him to a bridge deal would be of zero benefit and a missed opportunity.
