People suggesting 4+ are out to lunch. He hasn't yet broken 40 points.

4 or 4+ on a longer-term deal (6+ years) could be a good signing, but as people mentioned it's unlikely Bennett has interest in such a deal.
3 years at 3M or so would be a nice contract for the Flames, and probably something Bennett could live with. I very seriously doubt 2 years is on the table from the Flames perspective, because it would be painting themselves into a corner 2 years from now with Tkachuk and Bennett both needing extensions while Brouwer and Frolik are still on the books.
3 years makes sense, but I'm still hoping we get a long-term deal on a good cap-hit.
