God, let this be true. A penny over $5.5M and I'm screwed.

Makes it look so bad. Wow.

I have two moves I'm looking at making that should let me just squeak by. Next year I'm beyond screwed when Quick's extension kicks in and that cap drops $6M. That's going to be one painful off-season.

He's referring to Benn, not your marriage.

Nice, I think I own Benn in possibly 4 of 8 leagues.
My "Benn in Voracekup?" team would be really dumb without him.

And - it makes those of us that advised one OP about taking Benn for Eriksson... well, it makes us all look real good right now.

This is a great deal for both sides. Good to see them both keep their words and not drag the negotiations into the media.

Missed this earlier as I've been keeping my eyes solely on Heika and Stepneski's twitter feeds today for news on this.

Excellent! I came on here with high hopes to see if Benn was any closer to signing. Wicked.

And like everyone else said, if the terms are accurate, it'll make NJ look foolish throwing the money they did at a guy who rode the coat tails of Parise, Elias and Kovalchuk. Nothing personal against the guy, he's a good player too in his own right and who can fault him for taking that dough... but still.

Thrilled to hear this. We can protect 4 players from last year (draft is tomorrow night) and Benn is one I am protecting (along with Spezza, Pietra and St. Louis).

A cap hit of 5.441 or less would be just right for my roster in my salary cap pool but I think this is unlikely.
A cap hit over 6.054 would really put me in a bind. Over that am I am really screwed.

Jamie Benn's agent Rich Evans says his client has no interest in a six-year deal and would prefer 3 to 5 years for term. Still working on it
