Go get that conn Smythe Benny. Then get your bank to stay in Florida. Always really liked him. He looks more like Gilmour than ever right now. Just needs to beat the hell out of Perry by the end of the series

That philosophy was top down from Treliving. He had a blind spot when it came to "character" and "experience".
Not saying it's not important, but it's not the only thing, especially when you have highly drafted talent that shows glimpses early on.

Sam Bennett has more goals in this year’s playoff runs (14) than Mitch Marner does in his entire playoff career (13)

Bennet now top ~50 in goals scored in a playoff season. Unreal run he's having. Take home the Conn Smyth Benzo. 4th overall FTW!

GOAT!

Bennett is one goal away from tying Messier, Ovechkin and Crosby’s best playoff seasons and Gretzky and Kurri’s second best seasons.
(He already has the record for most road goals in a single playoff season.)

Can you believe we had Bennett, Monohan, Tkachuk, and Gaudreau.

The greatest trade the Flames ever made. I love that he is an Oilers killer.

I still contest that if Florida was to offer Bennett say 7 for 7 yesrs that he'd stay. With the success he's had there, I think it would be really hard for him to leave.

The Panthers were rumoured to have Verhaege’s deal (8 x 7) on the table for Bennett. That was before the playoffs. If they up it to 8 x 8, that’s probably enough to keep him in Florida. 7 x 10 would be 6 mil more over the length of the deal. Factor in the Florida tax advantage, and the fact he seems to love playing there, and I’d guess it’s not enough to entice him away.

He never would have been that player for us. We tried to ruin him.
He's been amazing in every playoffs he has been in. His full potential is fully released when he is #2 behind Barkov, though. And that is not to take anything away from Bennett, but being on Florida is the perfect scenario for him.
I still think talks of him getting 10mil plus per year are crazy. I see him as the perfect #2 center. That lifts his play to become an elite #1b center come playoffs.
