The new deal raises his salary significantly to an average annual value of $8 million. Bennett expressed his love for South Florida and the team, attributing his career's success to the opportunities provided in Florida under coach Paul Maurice.
As soon as I got here, I think I exploded into this player that I always knew that I could be one day. I didn't really know how much success we would have, but I knew I loved the opportunity I was getting.
Being in South Florida has just completely changed my life, and I love playing hockey there, I love living there.
