Stanley Cup Champs 2024
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
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
6.5M C is a no no for the 3rd lineWe 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.
None of those guys are C’s so they aren’t really a comparable.Bertuzzi, Wilson, kane, perry
These are the closest I can think of. Not sure they are good comparables. They all play wing

Panthers owner presents Bennett with his championship ring, tells him that he is the soul of the team. It makes a lot of sense to re-signLundell can take over his role easily. He makes no sense to re-sign.
If he wants to remain a Panther, he will.I’d prioritize him over Ekblad
Even if Ekblad said just give me the same AAV as I currently have, he is still overpaid.
Think he is gonna take a paycut?
....and the others apparently only look at point totals.It seems like the only people who think Florida should move on from Bennett are the ones that want him out of the way for Lundell. They're completely different players.
Bruins fan here. I agree with the Panthers owner, Bennett is the heart and soul of the Panthers. Don't look only points in his case. Dirty player, plays dirty, top 6, poised and keep his head cold, all what a team needs and like and opponents hate.Bruins and Leafs fans will handle this well
Should come in around 6 mil. In a sane world he gets 5.5, but I could see him getting 6.5

IMO, he will cash in hard.
