Assuming this team is in the playoffs, and assuming no injuries at centre, which of our deserving centres that helped get the team to the point that they are still going in the playoffs do you sit to make room for Bennett?
While I don't think feelings are what matter at that point in the season, ice your best team. But how does one really make a case that Bennett is an upgrade over what we have on the ice right now, given he hasn't been given the opportunity to prove it yet? Not meant to be a slam on Bennett, more a legit question on how one justifies bringing in a completely unproven rookie on a hunch, to a team that if this becomes an option will clearly already be firing on all cylinders?
