But that's some stupid salary, unless your Anahiem who will likely lose a sweet asset to the expansion draft.

That would be if they offered Bennett that on a 4 or 5 year deal.
If they offered him that on a 7 year deal it would be 2 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd. If they offered him that on a 6 year deal it would be a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd.
Also to sign that deal they would have to find some serious cap space that they do not currently have.
