What It Means:

Benn's cap hit will now be $1.1 million, an increase from the $700K that he was being paid annually on his old deal. He tallied 12 points (3 goals, 9 assists) in 64 games this season. Benn will be 29 years-old by the time next season begins, and his point production will likely be similar to what we saw this season.

Been was poor at driving possession, posting a Corsi For Percentage of 48.8 and a Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength of -4.6. Six defenseman averaged more time on ice this season for Dallas than Benn's 15:39, which was his lowest total since his rookie season (2011-12).
