As much as we all hope that Monahan or Bennett will fill that spot, the reality is neither one is anywhere close to that this year and there is a very real possibility neither guy ever becomes that.
i think Bennett is better suited as a winger even tho of course it'd be better if he's a C.
The big cause of concern is he looked his best his rookie year and has regressed ever since. Definitely trending in the wrong direction.

Man do I hate that word 'regressed'. Gets tossed around like candy from a pinata. Pretty easy to say he looked his best in his rookie season....when his rookie season was last year. He has a total of two seasons to judge his play on. Two. So of course now that he's having a bit of a sophomore slump, its easy to say he's 'regressed'.
Do people honestly think that his rookie season will be his best season in his entire career? I certainly don't. I don't think management does either. Just have to be patient with him.
