Benn's Career in the NHL is Looking Close to Finished
Benn was on a Professional Try Out agreement with the Stars and is now a free agent. Being released from a PTO is never a good sign for a player's NHL career, as he is now without a team as organizations around the league finalize their rosters.
Benn spent the beginning of his career with the Stars, from 2011 to 2017, fighting for a roster spot nearly the entire time. He also spent time with the Canadiens, Canucks, Jets, and Wild, before signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs last summer. He Played 12 games with the Leafs last year, scoring 1 goal and 1 assist.
