Jamie Benn Staying in Dallas: Stars Re-Sign Franchise Icon for 2026-27

On Friday, July 3, 2026, the Dallas Stars signed captain Jamie Benn to a one-year contract for the 2026-27 season, marking his 18th season with the only franchise he has ever played for in the NHL.
The contract carries a base salary of $850,000 with an additional $1,150,000 in potential performance bonuses, representing the second consecutive season Benn has accepted a one-year deal to provide the Stars significant roster flexibility.
Stars general manager Jim Nill said, "He continues to set the standard on and off the ice"; Benn has played 1,252 career games and netted his 400th NHL goal, establishing him as a franchise cornerstone.
Following a first-round exit against the Minnesota Wild in 2026, the team hopes Benn's return fuels one last successful run at the Stanley Cup; he recorded 36 points in 60 games last season.
With his 37th birthday approaching, the veteran captain sits just eight points shy of reaching the 1,000-point milestone, positioning him as a steady leader for the franchise's talented young core moving forward.
