Well earned!

A high quality 2nd line centre to play behind Barkov.

Sam Bennett in 2020/2021: 27 points in 48 games, including 15 points in 10 games as a Panther. He added to it with 5 points in 5 playoff games.

Florida is my early favourite for the 2022 Stanley Cup.

Hope he really materializes as a top 6 Center in Florida.

This seems like a much better deal. But 4x4.4 isn't terrible either.

Good for Sam. From what he went through here to how he performed in Florida and getting a healthy raise and term. Has to feel pretty vindicating.

Happy for Sam but think Panthers will regret it at some point over 4 years

The player is super volatile and seems to be unable to avoid taking costly penalties


Happy to see him get paid though

Good for Sam for sure.

But Florida is really are banking on the 20 game sample being what he brings. Really surprised to see him get $1.4M more than Duclair.

Will be interesting to see how he fares next season. He looked like a world beater at the end of the season.

Agreed. Doubt he’d be getting anywhere close to this with Calgary had he stayed.

Seems a bit much for a small sample size. But, couldn’t be happier for Sam.

I'm very interested to see if he can replicate the end of last season over the long term.
