Boston Bruins set to sign top free agent Sam Bennett? It may have been confirmed following recent announcement

If Sam Bennett does end up hitting free agency this off-season, he is going to be a player in high demand, and the Boston Bruins have been linked to him, but a recent report may have just confirmed that the Bruins are going to miss out on him.

The Florida Panthers are currently on their way to reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the third straight year, and you can argue that they easily have the deepest team in recent memory.

Unfortunately for Florida, there is a good chance that they are going to lose some of their free agents during the off-season, and one of those players could very well be Bennett.

There are set to be some big named players hitting the free agent like Nikolaj Ehlers, Mitch Marner, and now Sam Bennett. Bennett may draw the most interest out of all the players with his style of play, and how well he performs during the NHL playoffs.

It was just reported that Sam Bennett may get a contract over $10 million if he hits free agency, and this could change things for the Bruins.

The Boston Bruins have been linked to Sam Bennett a lot this season, as he fits their exact style of play, but $10 million is a lot to ask for, especially for a player that has only hit over 50 points one time in his career.

But the Boston Bruins are looking for center depth this off-season, and with how well Bennett fits the Bruins play style, it wouldn't be surprising if Don Sweeney went out and was a top bidder for him if he hit the free agent market.

Do you think the Boston Bruins should offer Sam Bennett a $10 million contract in free agency?
