I am sorry, but people quoting Bennett's regular season stats as a correlation to his worth don't really understand hockey. The dude was a huge part of FLA's SC win and TC's 4N win. The dude is a gamer. If I am going to overpay for a player, he is it.
was is the max you're ready to pay him??

There is no denying his "added" value to a team and this is why people are looking at giving him north of 7M per season. Would he not bring these intangibles, nobody would want to give a 7x+7M to a guy that never had a season of 50pts.

Like I said, I like him alot, but there is a direct parallel and a lesson to be taken from Gally: like Gally, he's been injured often and has a style of play that does not age well. They are both hearth and soul type of guy and will bring you into a fight. You need these guys for sure. But we all know where Gally stand right now in his career and what impact this has on the team. So... Buyer beware that is all i'm saying.
 
How do you get that?

This is about Rantanen not signing a new deal.
The supposed need to retain.

Even if he's not signing a new deal, it would be dumb for Carolina to do what is suggested. They should just ride with him in the playoffs. Too bad they paid a high price..

It's not a need to retain, it's retaining to get even more value.
 
Hearing lots of chatter over past few days that Rantanen doesn't want to stay in Carolina long term even if they give him his money.

Really hope Habs have a chance. Would be easiest way to improve our offence without losing any assets
 
We need a bomb from the blue line

Haven’t had that since Weber retired

Open up some more space for Hutson at even strength

Bennett will be overpaid and get too much term.. but he's a gamer, he's physical and he is a left shot centre.

We could certainly do worse if he makes it to free agency. Of course if we win the lotto for 2nd and get Misa, that urgency might be lowered.
He was more effective than Auston Matthews last night, that’s for sure

It makes absolute 0 sense regardless, which is what I'm sarcastically pointing out.

You don't get a Rental on a high price and turn around to make one of your competitor better against you because you can't resign him, AND help the competitor by retaining... Friedman once more? :laugh:
