His points per 60 minutes are also well below McDavid and Marner.
Just throwing it out there. Bennett is going to be an awesome player but this also raises some discussion points.

This turns out to work fairly well.

So pretty much because Bennett's line is scoring so many goals they think he is playing a lot.
