Super solid deal for Florida with the rising cap.

Panthers should definitely have a wide open window to add more cups over the next several seasons

They have done a good job managing the cap, especially spending $14.5 mil in net.

That seems like a a steal. He's an excellent player, if the contract looks good today it's going to look awesome in 3,4 years.

Honestly the way Lundell played in the playoffs I was thinking Conroy should've thrown the kitchen sink to get him. Only going to get better.

Very happy with this deal. I think they let Bennett walk next year and run with Lindell centering the 2nd line.

That's a tough one. I agree that might be the best play, unless Bennett signs for a reasonable amount. Bennett is so good in the playoffs, hard to just let him go but I can see him not aging well too the way he plays.

They have multiple advantages that make it a lot easier to do so

Interesting take, I think they see Bennett as a very important piece for playoff success.

Bennett is an important player, but you can't keep and pay everyone on a championship team. Maybe I'm wrong, but that always seemed to be the plan with age and contract status.

Looks like a solid value signing

Bennett is also very good value for the dollars at this time

I think they may have to choose between Bennett and Verhaeghe next year

Bob has 2 years left and they can likely free up some space then

I hear Kris Draper works for only a dollar.
