Unfortunately, that's true. But it's also a separate issue from team size. The team simply hasn't got enough talented forwards to spread the skill around.
Here's hoping Bennett and Poirier (and possibly others) change that next year.
I know some posters are suggesting a Gaudreau–Bennett–Poirier line, but I can't help thinking next year would be too soon for that. A sophomore and two rookies on the same line? OK for a fourth line, but not if you're depending on them for everyday scoring. Bennett + Gaudreau + an experienced RW with some size would be a good combination. Unfortunately, the only big, experienced RW on the team right now is Jones, and I suspect he is not the answer either. But I think you're right in that he's the best option on the roster.
