The Florida Panthers recognize the significant contribution of Sam Bennett to their contention status. Since joining Florida from Calgary at the NHL's 2021 trade deadline, Bennett's resurgence has significantly shaped the team. With his contract nearing its end and a potential pay raise looming, the Panthers are in discussions to extend his deal. Reports suggest positive talks are underway, emphasizing the strong relationship between Bennett and the franchise, and the urgency for the team to secure him before he enters free agency.
If the Panthers can find a way to get a deal done and they have a sense that Bennett wants to return, their best move would be to strike before he hits the open market.
Bennett's career has been a revelation since joining the Panthers, tallying 29 points over the course of a significant stretch of the season.
