But carry on....bringing up how much you pay a guy who is a playoff beast but is replacement level during the regular season is far too much for many to handle apparently.
Funny thing is...im not even advocating getting rid of him or whatever. Just trying to parse what his cap hit is/should be. Bingo thinks he is a million overpaid, but makes up for that with other things. I disagree with that and have explained why.

Sam Bennett has played 5 full seasons in the NHL.
Sam Bennett has played in the NHL Playoffs 4 times.
Works out to a fairly good ratio. Don't think he's hurting the teams chances of making it to the post-season.
Not to mention the fact that's been brought up many times, in that Bennett rarely, if ever gets opportunities higher in the lineup during the regular season and finds himself anchored to replacement-level players, yet still has excellent individual scoring chance rates.
