Friedman: Bennett and Panthers open contract talks

[barkovcanfinnish]

If you can fit him in, you get him. Even if we don’t win another cup with this core, it’s hard to imagine we won’t be in the mix for 5+ years with Bennett locked in along with the rest of our big pieces

Career high of 49 points, shouldn’t be hard to lock him up.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Bruins and Leafs fans will handle this well

What’s the big deal with the 2C and the 3C talk? The middle 2 lines are fluid anyway. There’s a high chance Reinhart stays on the line with the “3C” when Barkov comes back, think Reinhart makes a big deal about being a 3rd like player? Lol

Panthers have arguably a top 9 and not a middle 6 per se.

It’s a top 9 with, then a 4th line. We don’t have one line loaded. Talent is distributed and juggled when necessary, Maurice has been excellent at doing this

We have to come to the conclusion that no team shouldn't pay 6.5mil for a 3C and therefore if and when that happens that makes the Panthers a stupid organization. Not sure what benevolent motive it serves other than making all other fanbases feel good about themselves.

6.5M C is a no no for the 3rd line

But an 8.7M wing on the 3rd is perfectly fine.

Insert Drake meme here lmao

I will lullll if he's anywhere near Reinhart's AAV

 

[SirSamofHouseBennett]

Some teams will be spend 30m on their C group, FLA will be spending less than 25m at most.

Who cares how many shifts each guy gets, they would still be incredibly cap efficient and by the time Barkov needs a raise, the cap will have risen enough to accommodate.

I’m a fan of Sir Samuel of House Bennett and don’t think the Panthers should give him up.

There really is no one else like him.

Can we list some comparable’s?

Bertuzzi, Wilson, kane, perry

These are the closest I can think of. Not sure they are good comparables. They all play wing
