Pretty much any amount of term puts him in line to need an extension when another core player needs one.
1 year- Backlund
2 years- Tkachuk
3 years - Brodie
4 years- Hamilton
5 years- Gaudreau
6 years - Monahan
I don't see Bennett getting more than 3 years unless he takes a 6-7 year deal in the $4.5M per range which would be dumb on his part and risky on the Flames part (risk worth taking if Bennett wanted to do it)
At the end of the day I see a 2 year $5M deal for a AAV of $2.5M
