Selected by the Calgary Flames with the No. 4 pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, Bennett has 336 points (162 goals, 174 assists) in 691 regular-season games for the Flames and Panthers, and 78 points (40 goals, 38 assists) in 107 playoff games.

Bennett - who led the NHL with 15 goals in this year's playoffs and became the first Panthers player ever to score that many in a single postseason - is staying with the back-to-back Stanley Cup champions.

Sam Bennett could have gone to free agency and picked his landing spot, plus probably could have signed for much more money than the Florida Panthers were able to offer.
