[Hey Connor, It's Mess]

I thought Bennett progressed nicely. His first half was a little rough but his defensive game in particular improved as the year wore on. Give him competent linemates and he'll have a much better upcoming season. Which sort of brings me to my next point..

I'd actually like to see Jankowski play on the left side with Backlund and Frolik this season, allow him to get acclimated to the NHL game on the wing first and learn from our two best two-way forwards in the process. Doing this would allow Tkachuk to slot in on Bennett's left wing, giving Bennett a real weapon and make for a very un-fun line to play against for our opponents.

At the season's conclusion you can evaluate Bennett's progress and Jankowski's first year and then revisit the centre question. I still think Jankowski at centre and Bennett on the wing might be the better option in the future, but Bennett should get a longer look first.
