About where most expected him to be at. Happy it finally got done. I am excited for Bennett this season - no Brouwer or Neal to have to play with, and some muscle in Lucic for him not to have to worry about having to fight guys that out-class him. He can just concentrate on improving his game.

That seems to be right in the range dictated by the comparables, which I thought was 2.4-2.6, so I’m happy with this.

Great deal for a good player; stay the course. Bennett is following the Backlund development curve, and there's no question he has more raw talent. Backlund started to show who he was in his 5th season and 3rd contract.

Backlund, years 1-4: 62 pts in 169gp (0.37 ppg)
Bennett, years 1-4: 115 pts in 311gp (0.37 ppg)

I still believe there's a critical spot on the core of a championship-caliber team that Sam can fill. He might not ever be the 80 point player that his pedigree suggested, but we went through these exact same conversations about Mikael, and look how that turned out.

Admittedly was nervous they might move him. Would rather he find his footing here. A good deal.

that's a nice deal for both sides. Glad to get it done and avoid arbitration.

Just hope he gets a chance to center two wingers neither of whom are our worst, slowest player. Is that too much to ask? Mangiapane or Tkachuk on the left, Phillips or Czarnik on the right.

*keeps on dreaming*

Can't complain about that and he's still an RFA at the end.

Hope Sam breakouts and sets himself up for a big payday two years from now.

Probably a slight over payment for his stats in the last 3 years but I get the feeling that Sam still has some offensive upside to potentially turn this into a bargain.

To be clear he is UFA eligible at the end of the 21/22 season and not the beginning.
