Amazing! My favorite player since he's come here. Just looking at what Reino, Fors and Verhaeghe signed for, you know they're doing something right in this organization. Wow.

I posted this in the main thread but I thought he was going to get at least 8. I was guessing around 8.375ish to reinharts 8.625. Heard they were close to an extension when Reinhart signed his and then nothing happened so I wasn’t sure if he was going to try for more in free agency. The full 8 and only 7 even? How does zito do this? Incredible. I love it!

Had to do a double take - wasn't expecting that tonight. Wow!

Hell yeah what a deal!

Zito masterclass. Verhaeghe is such a great fit on this team and extremely clutch in the playoffs.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Insane value signing, wow. Huge Zito W

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

This contract is good value when considering his production (which has been consistent here), playoff performance, and age. If he were two years younger, this would be considered a huge steal, I think.

 

[Chino Oscar]

Great contract. Zito has to figure out a way to extend Bennet as well. He has become a key player for this team. His grit/style of play, speed, forecheck, intangibles, we have to keep him.

 

[Ghoste]

Swaggy!

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

He could've gotten +8mil per in the open market. Verhaeghe is committed to this Frenchfries.

 

[FrolikFan67]

Starting next season:

Barkov = 10.00 per for 5 years
Tkachuk = 9.50 per for 5 years
Reinhart = 8.625 for 7 years
Verhaeghe = 7.00 for 8 years

Forsling = 5.75 per for 7 years

We have our core top-6 guys locked in and forsling on D locked in all longterm and at great rates

Plus, this gives me more hope of somehow being able to also extend Bennett possibly. I think teams would over pay in free agency and as a center he may test the market, but if Verhaeghe got 7per I don’t see how he could ask for more. More than lundell’s 5per but less than Verhaeghe’s 7per.

I don't think think that Bennett is going to stay with Lundell getting paid 5mil.
imo there should've been rumors by now about Benny and/or Ekky getting re-signed if Zito had intentions of doing that.

I don’t either for the same reason, as soon as Lundell got 5per longterm I figured that’s the end of Benny’s stay, but this gives a slightly better chance of him staying since I would bet he makes over verhaeghe’s 7per if he hits the market.

Benny probably can get 7mil per in free agency whereas Zito might offer him ~6mil. In case he's not with the Panthers in the next season, they'll miss his physicality in the playoffs. Lost Gudas, Montour, Lomberg and Cousins in a short period of time and maintaining that brand of hockey that wins games for the Panthers just becomes increasingly difficult if Benny joins that list.
