Beau Bennett is in the midst of his fourth season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He signed a one-year contract at the beginning of the 2015-2016 season, following the expiry of his entry-level deal.
When this season ends, Bennett will be a restricted free agent (RFA) – giving Pittsburgh the rights to negotiate a new contract with him before anyone else could.
However, Bennett, the 20th overall pick in the 2010 entry draft, has been anything but a consistent asset for Pittsburgh. Whenever he hits his stride and has a good streak of games, he inevitably gets injured.
