The entire point is that they didn't win after the contracts...yes it was more Toews but they were a package deal, 21M when the cap was much lower killed their team and many knew it would.
I don't think Bennett should be on this list but his last seasons playoffs and two cups aren't really a factor because they were on the old deal. What he does moving forward decides if its a good deal or not. If the Panthers let Bennett walk the league wouldn't take the cups back. Oilers would trade Nurse for Bennett in a second, so would the Canucks with Pete...he shouldn't be on the list....yet, but COULD be down the road.
