Bennett announced his retirement on his personal Twitter page Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett played in 200 NHL games, racking up 24 goals and 40 assists across six seasons between the Penguins, Devils and Blues. He spent a year with Dinamo Minsk of the KHL in 2018-19, then returned to North America with AHL Tucson a year later, but that didn't lead to another NHL opportunity.

Bennett signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Coyotes on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett was supposed to spend the 2018-19 campaign with Dinamo Minsk of the KHL, but he was cut loose by the team after failing to live up to expectations through the first five games of the season. The 27-year-old last played in North America in 2017-18 when he racked up 12 goals and 57 points in 60 appearances with AHL Chicago. The 2010 first-round pick will likely spend most of the upcoming campaign in the minors, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him join the big club for a game or two on occasion.

Bennett has been let go by Dinamo Minsk after struggling to produce through the first five games.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett was hoping to jump start his career by heading overseas after opting against signing a qualifying offer from the Blues. Unfortunately, it appears the oft-injured winger simply couldn't fit into the KHL style of play. If the California native returns to St. Louis, he will almost certainly be shipped to the minors.

Bennett signed a one-year contract with Minsk Dinamo of the KHL on Friday, Igor Eronko of Sport-Express reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett received a qualifying offer from the Blues, but evidently, the 2010 first-round (20th overall) draft pick -- he was drafted by the Penguins -- believes that he can grow his game overseas. Bennett has recorded 24 goals, 40 assists, and 52 PIM after NHL stops in Pittsburgh, New Jersey and St. Louis.

Bennett was extended a qualifying offer by St. Louis on Sunday, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett was waived by the Blues before the 2017-18 season began, but he cleared waivers and was assigned to AHL Chicago. He was called up less than a month later to make a run for a roster spot, but zero points and a minus-2 rating landed him back in minors after just six games. However, the 26-year-old winger's exceptional play in Chicago -- 12 goals and 57 points in 60 games -- forced the Blues to retain his rights.

Bennett was assigned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett did not contribute much of anything in the six games he played while up with the big club, recording no points and a minus-2 rating. The California native's demotion could mean that one of the Blues' injured players -- specifically Patrik Berglund (shoulder) or Jay Bouwmeester (ankle) -- are closer to returns than originally thought.

Bennett was summoned from AHL Chicago on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett has notched three points in five games in the minors so far this year, and it appears St. Louis will give him another shot to receive consistent time in the NHL. The 25-year-old recorded 19 points in 65 games last season for New Jersey, and although Bennett was once a top prospect, it really seems injuries from early in his career have sapped his offensive ability. However with Samuel Blais and Ivan Barbashev being sent down to the minors Sunday, Bennett could very well have an opportunity to earn ice time in a bottom-six role.

Bennett was placed on waivers Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

You really have to feel for Bennett, who was a first-round pick of the Penguins in 2010 yet has failed to establish himself in the NHL and fulfill his potential due to a litany of injuries. The former University of Denver star signed a one-year, one-way deal with St. Louis during the offseason and all indications point to Bennett being demoted to the AHL if he's to clear waivers.

Bennett signed a one-year, one-way contract with the Blues on Saturday, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old Bennett spent six seasons in the the Penguins' organization before playing in New Jersey last season, when he posted a career-high eight goals and 19 points in 65 games. A former first-round pick (20th overall) in 2010, Bennett has not performed up to that billing. Injuries derailed his development early and he never caught on in Pittsburgh. The Blues can take a flier on him and have minutes available after David Perron was selected by Vegas and Patrik Berglund underwent shoulder surgery that will keep him out until at least December.

Bennett didn't receive a qualifying offer by the Devils and thus can become an unrestricted free agent Saturday, The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Like several other first-round draft picks (Joe Morrow, Mikhail Grigorenko), Bennett received word Monday that he wouldn't be extended a contract offer by his current team. Drafted 20th overall by Pittsburgh in 2010, the California native's 19 points and 101 shots on goal last season (his first in New Jersey) were actually career highs, but leave much to be desired -- especially from a fantasy perspective. He shouldn't have trouble landing a deal with another organization, though, given his pedigree and the fact he's still just 25 years old.
