Noice

 

[MoreMogilny]

Good value for what he’s brought to the table this season

 

[Budz]

He’s an ideal 5/6 Dman. Dollars look good to me.

 

[Pinto]

Good for him, he’s earned it.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Finally, he’s been awesome this year

 

[Mrfenn92]

Solid extension for both sides

[Smif]

Wow, I was expecting more.

Edit: However, I do keep forgetting he was an RFA.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Good for him, he and McMann have probably been the two most positive surprises on the team. Can't complain about that money for a solid bottom pairing guy who's still relatively young

 

[Anthrax442]

He is a good young defenseman. Steady, physical, not flashy.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

How Verbeek let this go, I'll never know.

Leafs got a good one.

 

[Schenn]

Unreal. Leafs fans have really liked him this year. Plays exactly how you'd want a 5/6 to play.

 

[Mike Jones]

Good for Benoit - he definitely earned this extension.

 

[Schennanigans]

Nice.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I like this.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

really like this deal

 

[JimmyApples]

Too much term

 

[ToDavid]

Too much term

Obsessed.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Great value for the Leafs, and a well deserved extension for Benoit. He's been a pleasant surprise and one of the most consistent, reliable and physical defensemen on the blueline this season.

 

[Acetylene]

Very good, Benny has been surprisingly solid for us.

 

[AvroArrow]

Love it, Benoit has been solid was hoping we extended him soon. Now get Bert and Domi done lmao.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

This is the type of D we've needed in the bottom 6 for a while.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Great deal and a Win-Win! Locked up through his prime, excellent defensive dman! He’ll still be young enough to cash in on ufa if he wants to after this deal as well.

 

[BM14]

Excellent 6-7 dman on a good contract.
He plays a simple game and when he sticks to it, he’s extremely effective.
