Jamie Benn: our analysis
2025-26 season: 60 GP, 15 G, 21 A, 36 PTS, +8 +/-, 13:17 TOI. WAR 0.7 (209th of 615) · PAL 26, below average.
In 2025-26, Jamie Benn, 37, posts a PAL Rating of 26 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of 0.7 ranks 209th among 615 regulars, in the top half.
His strengths: shooting (86, among the best in the league) and offense (81, well above average). On the other hand, discipline (0, among the weakest in the league) and defense (11, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+3.6); his biggest cost: penalties (-2.4).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 15 in 2024-25 to 26; his WAR went from 0.1 to 0.7.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 39 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Jamie Benn's story
Raised on Vancouver Island, Benn came up through local minor hockey with the Peninsula Eagles, played junior B with the Peninsula Panthers in 2005–06 and spent parts of three seasons with the Victoria Grizzlies in the BCHL before being selected 129th overall by Dallas at the 2007 draft and moving to major junior with Kelowna in the WHL.
In Kelowna he progressed quickly: 65 points as a rookie, then a 2008–09 campaign of 46 goals and 36 assists for 82 points in 56 games. He finished as the Rockets’ playoff leader with 33 points en route to the Ed Chynoweth Cup in 2009, and at the Memorial Cup he posted a four-goal, one-assist game in round-robin play to help Kelowna reach the final.
Benn made his NHL debut on October 3, 2009 and scored his first NHL goal on October 11 against Roberto Luongo. After a full rookie season he joined the Texas Stars for the AHL playoffs, totaling 26 points in 24 postseason games. Early in his NHL career he missed time through concussion and a shoulder separation, earned an All‑Star nod, and agreed to a five‑year deal with Dallas on January 24, 2013.
Named Dallas captain on September 19, 2013, Benn delivered career seasons soon after: 34 goals and 79 points in 2013–14, then the Art Ross Trophy in 2014–15 with 87 points. He set a new high with 41 goals and 89 points in 2015–16 and signed an eight‑year extension on July 15, 2016. Milestones followed — 200th goal (Dec 8, 2016), 300th (Feb 27, 2020), and 400th career assist (Apr 8, 2021) — and he captained the club to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final.
Internationally Benn was part of Canada’s gold at the 2009 World Juniors, contributing 4 goals and 2 assists in 6 games, represented the senior team at the 2012 Worlds, and played a key role at the 2014 Olympics, scoring the game‑winner vs Norway and the lone goal in the 1–0 semifinal win over the United States on the way to Olympic gold. Benn’s game is straightforward: a goal scorer’s instincts complemented by playmaking and an on‑ice leadership that has defined his long tenure in Dallas.
