It's not hard to see why a beat writer would call him a winger. Obviously developing him into a center would be in the best interests of this team of course.

Lots of sources list Poirier as a left wing as well, forward positions can be totally out of whack going from junior to pro.
I'm not saying Bennett hasn't played left wing, or won't in the future but he projects as a center. Younger players tend to get pushed to the wing which is why he joined Kingston playing on the wing, he was 16. As he got older and more responsibility he was shifted back to the middle. He might start in Calgary on the wing, less responsibility etc but as I'm willing to bet he will return to the middle. His two-way game and ability in the face off dot is much better suited to the middle.
