Re: Do we believe in Sam Bennett?
I like this contract for both Bennett and the Panthers. I think it demonstrates that the Panthers believe in Bennett and are willing to give him a decent four year contract vice a "show me" bridge contract. Overall, one could argue that the Panthers have improved their team as much or perhaps more than any other in the NHL. So, while the risk remains I'm certainly feeling better about it and I'm feeling OK with that CAP hit.
It's a big IF, but, IF Bob can round back into some semblance of previous form the Cats might make some noise this year and a guy like Bennett might significantly contribute to a deeper playoff run. How's that for a fearless forecast (:
