Sam Bennett: Contract Negotiations

[I am not exposed]

No he isn't. Benny wants to win and not regular season games.

I see you in the denial stage

 

[Chaos2k7]

I see you in the denial stage

I just know the Leafs will resign Marner Tavares and Knies, for all their remaining cap space.

 

[ge2655]

We will announce the signing when either:

• We meet the Leafs or
• We get eliminated or
• Leafs get eliminated

Just to screw with them.

 

[FinlandPanther]

He's going to Toronto for 9m+.

And for that amount, they can have him.

And I was one of the few who was really excited when we traded for him from Calgary.

If he wants 9 mil he can have a good one!

Only if they're swapping him for Marner.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I hope not, that would be a great swap for the Leafs. On the plus side, unless Marner goes to Edmonton, I'll probably be able to call him Bitch Barner on the mains without being instantly banned.

 

[Idiot Stick]

We need to keep him

Man has the most goals on our team thru these playoffs and is the panthers personified

 

[Chaos2k7]

I feel the same about Benny this year as I did about Rhino last year. I doubt either side wants to split.

It'll get done.

I think he wants to go home to Toronto, at least he wanted to before this series. That still may be the case, but I think the way the fans are acting towards him, with the booing and finding his hotel room and such, it may have pushed him away from that.

 

[sinDer]

We can't afford to lose Bennett.

Wouldn't be a big deal for regular seasons. But needless to say that it would be a huuuuuge loss for playoffs games.

Yeah my thoughts as well.

Before this series started, I figured he would be signing in Toronto in the offseason.

Now I put it at less than 50%.

A small (very small) part of me wants to see that happen just to see the mental gymanastics from Leafs fans and reddit.

 

[TheImpatientBoomer]

He's our best player, strip the C off Barky and get Benny hooked up on a 7x7 deal.
If he is somehow lured to Toronto, i will wreck havoc on their board as their new #1 fan.

He has played in Canada and had a rough go of it, I doubt leaving the club in a private market where he has revived his career, and reached the pinnacle with, is even on his mind.

Everyone said the exact same thing about Reinhart wanting to go home to Vancouver. Didn't happen. Why would these guys look anywhere else and think the grass is greener? The entire core is signed for another 5 years plus, and the cap is going up. I doubt he sees a better situation available to him.

Again, I assume he is re-signed.

 

[Great8Cam]

I see no more than. 5% chance that he goes to Shit Town.

Laffs fans are complete idiots and you would think that they should know and by everything I see these morons prove that they do not know shit.

Probably 97% of the ridiculous idiot posts by these clowns think that hockey is their national sport.

IDIOTS!!!

THE NATIONAL SPORT OF CANADA IS LACROSSE!!!!! An awesome sport just like hockey.

 

[ge2655]

I don't know Benny or have any inside information but I do listen to the words people say and Benny sounds as if he IS home.
He is an alpha in "THE PACK" and the camaraderie is important to him. He'll want to get paid and I believe Zito will make it happen.

 

[Ratsreign]

Yeah my thoughts as well.

Before this series started, I figured he would be signing in Toronto in the offseason.

Now I put it at less than 50%.

Especially when he didn’t even do anything to warrant their vitriol.

Lacrosse is good fun. Went to a couple of Vancouver Warriors game this season.

I can't recall people saying Reinhart would sign specifically in Vancouver. Just that we might lose him if his demands are too high.

Was a thing since he signed a bridge deal in Buffalo, it was also all over the Mains.

I really doubt that he cares. Toronto fans would welcome him with open arms, just like we did with Marchand.

Until he went 4 games without a point....

I read that as well. I thought there was a high chance he’d leave to back to Vancouver, or somewhere up north.

I hope I’m wrong with Bennett as well.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Get him on board Zito. Even if his production drops you can put him on the third line and put Lundell in his spot.
