I think the disappointment in Bennetts development is a bit overdone on this forum.
We got spoiled with Monahan and Gaudreau coming in and lighting it up but this happens
all the time with players, especially centers. He's being put in the center position and learning to play a two way game right now,
which cuts down on his offensive productions and usually does for a young player learning the defensive side.
My bet is that after this year solidifying his two way play and getting more confidence in the center position is that he really breaks out next year.
Take it for what its worth but its pretty common for a players offensive production and creativity to drop off while they focus on the defensive side of the game.
