I would personally move him over to the wing and roll with Monahan/Backlund/Jankowski at C even though management is committed to keeping him at that position.
So is Bennett the number 3 LW behind Gaudreau and Tkachuk?

Rather keep him at C than move him to the third line wing or off wing top 6

Bennett has developed a lot slower than I thought when he burst on the scene in the 2015 playoffs but I have liked his game when he plays with an edge.

I still see a future line of Tkachuk-Bennett-Lazar working out
