Rumor: Bennett contract AAV could eclipse $10M?

If Peter Chiarelli gets rehired then I could see it. 8 mil a season is too much in my opinion. 40 pt average for his career, even with his physicality does not make him an 8 mil player in my opinion. Guys that play his style also almost always age very fast in their early 30s. I think he is definitely a guy that by 32-33, people will not want on their team at whatever overdone contract he gets. I like the edge he plays with, but he is a 40 pt player with great physicality to his game, but not a lot else. I also think he is the kind of guy that blends well with a really talented team like Florida, but if he goes somewhere not as deep the expectations for him to produce more pts will be higher.
Bennett is very physical in the playoffs, but he doesn't hit that much during the regular season. He picks his spot. He averages 154 hits per year during the regular season and pace at 344 during the playoffs. His regular season pace is less than Trocheck, Slaf, or Svechnikov. We're a far cry from Lucic or Wilson.

I like Bennett, but jesus fkin christ. I know hockey is the most popular sport in the world, of course they should get paid like ones... oh wait. With the cap rising every year what could possibly go wrong.
