He's entering his 4th year of hockey with this team (yes I realize the first one was partial), it's time to take the next step.

Personally, I still don't really see him as a Centre...he just doesn't utilize his teammates enough to be one.
Agreed. I love how Bennett plays. He has intensity and skill, but he doesn't really play like a center at the NHL level. I don't see why giving him a chance on the wing is such a terrible thing. Then when inevitable injuries hit, you can move him back. Utility is a wondering thing to have.
