My only concern with prolonged negotiation is that the player can lose focus on his offseason training but from the Gully Q&A it doesn't sound like that's an issue with Bennett.
I get the feeling that Sam doesn't like seeing a lot of his peers signing big money deals while he's looking a bridge which will make him even hungrier this season. He's scores the game winner in the season opener and does reasonably well in a fight with Nurse.

No, just NO!
You want Sam Bennett fighting Darnell Nurse? Bennett is a decent fighter against guys that don't normally fight. He brings passion to the game, and the guys he fights fights to stick up for the team and themselves.
If Bennett fights Nurse he will be on the IR for the season. Hunter Smith gets his clocked cleaned by Nurse, you want Bennett to fight him?
Sam Bennett is fine, a good young player that is developing. We don't need him fighting a guy like Nurse. Him and McDavid? I would love to see that.
Keep Bennett in his weight class.
