And just like that, the playoffs are over and the world of the NHL is undergoing a complete makeover, with big trades coming in, salary caps being figured out and free agents running wild and free. With talk about players like Brad Marchand moving on from the Panthers, and Evander Kane already out of the Oilers, there is little firm ground to stand on in the world of hockey right now, except maybe when it comes to the Dallas Stars and Jamie Benn.
Despite the Dallas Stars Captain causing a bit of a ruckus for the team early on in the playoffs by sucker punching the Jets’ Mark Schiefele and getting a ten minute misconduct as a result, along with a $5000 fine, it looks like Neil Graham and the Stars are keen on keeping the captain on for another one year extension, though it looks like Benn’s salary will be severely compromised as a result.
According to a recent tweet by Frank Seravalli it looks like Jamie Benn will be getting a baseline of $1 million for his one year contract extension, with the addition of bonuses as a player aged over 35. All in all, if he meets all his targets, he could make an additional $3 million, which, is alright, but less than his 8 year $76 million contract. However, it allows the Stars some space within their salary cap.
