Michael Benning News: Lands one-year contract

Benning signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Thursday.

The 23-year-old defenseman has yet to debut in the NHL. Benning spent last season with AHL Charlotte, potting nine goals and 23 assists in 54 regular-season contests. He could make his NHL debut this season, but will likely spend most of the season in the AHL.
