you don't usually get info like that out of golf course interviews in August! My eyes widened when he went into Bennett deployment.
Pretty much blows the consensus Flame's lineup out of the water (our thoughts, TSN year book, etc all had Bennett on LW with Backlund and Frolik)
Assuming the top line is in tact it could mean big things for either Bouma or the yet to be signed Ferland. Do they average out three lines or do they roll two scoring lines and give Bennett responsible wingers?
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Ferland - Backlund - Frolik
Bouma - Bennett - Colborne/Jones
Jooris/Bollig - Stajan - Colborne/Jones
still issues with bodies of course in Byron, Shore and Raymond
it was so easy to build a clear top six with Bennett on the left side.
