The Conn Smythe Trophy winner is on the younger end of this free-agent class and brings something that can’t be measured with boxcar numbers: tenacity. One NHL exec calls him a “dog on a bone.” So while other centers with longer track records of regular-season production will be available in free agency, Bennett will be more in demand because he’s viewed as a player who could tip the scales for a team in the playoffs. He scored 15 goals during this most recent run, which was his third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
