The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Two years away from what? as an UFA, it would be 7 years for Bennett; 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35.
He can be the 2C in years one two three and four, maybe even five of that contract, with Hage moving up with the Habs at the trade deadline in year three of that contract, and starting off as the 3rd line C for two years, the time he needs to get acclimatized to the NHL and start having an impact.
Two years away does not mean that Hage will be any good to start.

Go Habs!
Not that it makes much difference, but only Florida will be able to sign Bennett for 8 years.

Spittin’ Chicklets guys are convinced some team will cough up $10M to Bennett this summer - especially Ryan WhitneySo let me get this straight.
EP at $11M - ewww gross. I’d never!
Bennett at $10M - oh yeah. I want me some of that.

Canes not extending Guentzel and now having buyers remorse trading away Necas for Rantanen who they probably won’t keep. You love to see it.

Any GM thay gives Bennett a long term contract north of $9M would be approaching Milbury, Hextall level bad.
I like Bennett but these numbers are insane.

I think Utah owner will open up the vault - he’s known for being very very impatient
Side note, would be too funny if Canes / Fla swap Rantannen for Bennett

Well I hope it's not us.....10M for 45 pts per season is not very wise management, it's Bergevin level.
These are Josh Anderdon numbers,no? Let Buffalo pay 10M for their 2nd line center.
Hughes need to find an alternative for that 2nd line. Maybe they think Demidov will handle that position next year and try to find an top nhl winger like Rantanen or Marner?

Laine-Demidov-Rantanen

Utah would be far better off giving more to Rantenan, Marner etc. Bennett is a solid player but his intangibles are not worth a multiple in the mid millions per year.

Yeah, unless the Canes can pull off a miraculous trade to get back a prime asset by retaining salary on Rantanen and dealing him by the TDL, that deal is going to be a huge misstep by that franchise.
This is why the best player (contract wise and term) we can sign to fill the 2C then 3c role is Stammer from NSH. gotta try to get him while his value is low.
never make long term decisions when your players have not signed (see Boston).. Agent(s) will jump all over it. Just poor management.

I knew from the moment that trade was announced. Sakic is the Baba Yaga.

The thing is that we always have this ideal time of arrival for prospect such as "Hage in 2 years". But getting to the NHL is 1 thing, then adapting is a 2nd, then having an impact is the hardest.
Sam Bennett can elevate our top 6. Now and for at least the next 4 years. We will need to be competitive in the next 5 years. Why sacrifice getting better if we can add someone that has pedigree and is a warrior like Bennett?

Can’t happen to a better team

Cap is going up. I’m fine with $8M and I get it done. Yes that’s more than our top 3, but we got them on a deal.
...I personally love Bennett and I wouldn't pay him an $8 mill x 7 year deal...someone will...and they'll regret it...
Blame the referee

Thats a total non sense. You guys are crazy with Bennett..im not giving him 7.5!! Hes going to get paid for 6-7 years.
Hes gonna be our new Gallagher in 2-3 years.
Always injured, play hard…its not getting better with Times

Habs will have to overpay for Bennett. But he is better addition to team than Laine who's near 9 million.
Specially after Rantanen sends the Canes golfing out of the playoffs.
It won't happen.

If Cooper wasn't just being nice, maybe Matheson has good trade value to some teams. This article says he was on the short list to be an injury replacement:
Would be nice to move him and use the assets to get an RD.

Or go back to playing him on the right , as to me he looked perfectly fine there

If Rantanen does that he's tanking his value on the UFA market.
He needs to prove that he can produce without MacKinnon.
