It's 7 accrued seasons or 27, whichever comes first.
An accrued season is one in which they player was on the NHL roster for at least 40 games. For Bennett, his time on the roster in 2014-15 was less than 40 games, so that doesn't count as an accrued season.
2015-16 was Bennett's first accrued season. 5 more will put him to UFA status.
