Granlund deserves a shot for sure, but personally every sign I've seen indicates Bennett needs to go down to Jrs. Yes, the guy is skilled and there's some magic there, but his body just isn't anywhere close to NHL-ready yet. The guy has gone through two injuries in a pre-season....is that not the perfect indicator of his body just not being able to play his game at the NHL level just yet? We always laugh at the Oilers rushing their physically immature players...I think keeping up Bennett would be doing exactly that.
He already got a taste of the NHL, there's really no need for more. Every game he plays now takes a position of a more deserving player like Granlund.
