Of course it would be nice to get more production out of Bennett, but this is not why we are losing.

Yes I understand that but right now all he's developing into is a penalty prone player who tries too many junior moves. In hindsight Montreal's plan of playing galchenyuk on the wing for a few years before moving him back to centre looks to be paying off quite well.
