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 four consecutive 40-plus Point years with a physical style that the Panthers needed, which proved fruitful when they won their first Stanley Cup in 2024. In the year after, Bennett was electric in the playoffs, leading everyone in Goals (15), Even Strength Goals (11), and PIM (48). For his efforts, he was awarded the prestigious Conn Smythe Trophy.
He may not crack the top ten of this franchise, but he has already proved his worth in the state of Florida.
