Even if its bad in the future, his previous contract, when he won the Conn Smythe, was a steal. It's like paying him for work he's already done.
I thought for sure he was going to hit the UFA market and get $9.5+ million. I guess a combo of loyalty, an extra year of contract, and cheaper taxes kept him around in Florida.
Even at $8 million/year mid-30s Sam Bennett contract is going to be ugly....but 2 cups so who cares.
