In July of 2016, the Dallas Stars re-signed team captain, Jamie Benn, to an 8-year contract extension worth $76 million. This amount averages out to $9.5 million per year and will extend into the 2024-25 season. The 27-year-old left wing enjoyed a successful season in 2015-16 when he led the Stars to the playoffs and was second in the National Hockey League (NHL) with 89 points during regular season play.

Benn tied for second in the league with 17 power play goals, and his 41 goals put him in third place in the NHL. Both categories were career highs for Benn, and he managed to play in all of the 82 regular season games: the second year in a row that he accomplished this and the third time in his career. Considered a great two-way forward, he was a finalist for the both the Ted Lindsay Award and the Hart Memorial Trophy (player seen as most valuable to his team).
