Will Benn Be Back Next Season?
Coach Glen Gulutzan and Tyler Seguin want Jamie Benn to return after he finished with 15 goals in his injury-shortened season.
- On Monday, Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn addressed his future following the team's first-round playoff elimination, stating he will "probably just wake up one day" and decide whether to return for an 18th NHL season.
- Coach Glen Gulutzan and longtime teammate Tyler Seguin publicly urged the 37-year-old captain to continue playing after the Stars fell in six games to Minnesota in the first round.
- Benn played 60 games on a one-year, $1 million contract this season, earning an additional $2 million in bonuses while recording 15 goals and 21 assists with more than 13 minutes of playing time per game.
- While Benn contemplates his future, the Stars prepare for offseason negotiations with leading scorer Jason Robertson, who can become a restricted free agent unless the team makes a $9.3 million qualifying offer by June 29.
- General Manager Jim Nill previously stated Benn earned the right to remain with the Stars as long as he desires, a stance reflecting his legacy second only to Hall of Fame center Mike Modano in franchise history.
