Bennett developing properly as a centre should be one of the biggest priorities for the remainder of this season. Monahan and Bennett as our top 2 centres is how we will have success going forward.

Having him learn to be successful at the NHL level is the most important thing for Bennett. Most centers when they first enter the league are shifted to the wing unless they are physically bigger, which is why Monahan stuck off the bat.
The Flames are not rushing Bennett.
Granlund is a relative veteran among our prospects and is the same age as Gaudreau. He is more "ready" to be a center than Bennett.
