I would also argue that Bennett's offense mainly looks bad because this team (minus 3M) is incapable of generating offense at 5v5.

Gaudreau (an elite talent, proven top scorer in this league): 648 minutes TOI 18 points
Bennett ("struggling" 20 year old) 654 minutes TOI 16 points

Apart from 3M, GG's system does not work to generate offense at 5v5. I won't go and say it's a bad system, but it is not the right one for the elite so called skilled players on this team. Gaudreau is down over 0.5 points/60, and Monahan is down nearly 0.4. Giordano and Brodie are both down 0.8!
