Nick Ritchie just held out for 1.4 x 3. He's Bennett's closest comparable in my mind.
He's on an 18 point pace away from line 2. If line 3 continues to heat up he might finish with 30 points at which point maybe he's in the 1.8-2.0 range. A big playoffs maybe gets him in the 2.+ Range.
Janko scored 17 last year and signed for 1.75 as a centre. Bennett's gotta score once every 4 games for the rest of the season to hit that marker which I think is lofty.
