If they play like that then that could really hurt Bennett's confidence and development imo.

I'd prefer that Bennett is put in a position to learn how to play NHL centre -- doing that against lesser competition to start is the best way IMO (see Monahan, Sean). And Bennett has enough skill/offence that the points will come, especially if he gets PP time. Maybe not McSavior points, but that's not what we need from him this year.
And by all accounts, confidence is not an issue for #93.
