We'll see how he's even looking after this year. Needs to get his injury situations sorted out when they happen and stop waiting so long to deal with them.
top UFA forward next summer is alex steen?
Christ.

I say that about every contract.not understanding these posts
Kopitar is getting more, and he's not a top 3 player in the league as Jamie Benn. And he's older.
If Benn was a UFA I'd want my team to give him 11Mx7
because in a few years he won't be one of the higest paid players, but likely will be one of the better forwards in the leagueWhy are people calling this a steal deal? At 9.5 Benn is one of the highest paid forwards in the NHL. I think its fair.
Dallas paid a little extra for the peace of mind of him never ever getting remotely close to leaving. Worth it. Benn is amazing.
4 years too long
once he hits 30 that contract will be an albatross.
("oops wrong thread")
Not bad. 9.5M isn't what I'd call a discount, per se, but it seems below market value as well. Good for both sides.
First in points in 14-15 and second in 15-16?
He's definitely worth that much.
