The name Sam Bennett sparks interest across many NHL teams, and the Montreal Canadiens are no exception.
We're talking about a tough, productive forward, extremely difficult to play against, built for the Stanley Cup Playoffs and known as an excellent teammate.
Who wouldn't want a player like that?
However, as we reported in recent hours, Bennett reportedly has a very specific idea of where he wants to play next season.
That said, it hasn't stopped teams like the Habs from trying their luck.
A Specific Request from Sam Bennett for Teams Like the Montreal Canadiens
Max Truman shared some very interesting info in a recent article, and it directly concerns the asking price for Bennett.
"The problem is, his team hasn't been eliminated yet.. and he's going to ask for a ton of money.
I was recently told he wants at least $8 million per season.. in a tax-friendly environment.
That means at least $9.5 or $10 million in a place like Quebec."
