gold star for USAHOF

49. Sam Bennett

49. Sam Bennett

Sam Bennett was a trade deadline deal from Calgary in 2021, and it was a great fit for the veteran Center who finished the year with 15 Points in 10 Games. 

Since then, Bennett has played his best hockey, putting forth back-to-back 40-plus Point years with a physical style that the Panthers needed.  He won’t crack the top ten of this franchise, but he has already proved his worth in the state of Florida.
