Bennett basically was learning most of this season to become Backlund 2.0. A high quality two way shut down center. He improved a lot defensively over the course of the season. Still a work in progress, but there were significant leaps in his game over the course of the season.

You could see in the playoffs, when the games were important that he was utilizing his offensive abilities more than during the regular season.

Once he learns and gets comfortable playing that two way role, he'll be a dangerous threat at both ends of the ice as the offensive skill is still there.
