If Matthews is as good as Eichel then I think he and Bennett are neck and neck for the #2C spot next season. Monahan will be the #1C for at least 1 more season because of his numbers and experience.
Eichel is a 0.65 PPG player.
Bennett is a 0.5 PPG player right now and will certainly be better next year. I think 0.65 PPG is realistic. Compound that to his full NHL experience and I think it's a toss-up between him and Matthews.
