The Stars finalized a one-year, $4 million deal with their captain this summer. His deal included $2 million worth of bonuses for games played, starting at $500K for 20 games this season.
At 34, Benn remains committed to Dallas despite declining production. While the priority is his health, he’s a proven leader on the team, and the organization will be hopeful that this isn’t something that will keep him out of action too long.
