Agreed. That said, the video really highlights how well Backlund and Tkachuk read off one another. Hopefully Jankowski forces himself into the third line centre spot, allowing Bennett to shift to wing (not that he won't be a good centre, only to give him more offensive linemates that play a compatible style of game). The Flames could then try the following look:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Bennett-Backlund-Tkachuk
Versteeg-Jankowski-Frolik
Stajan-Lazar-Brouwer
More minutes for Bennett on line two, quality vets riding shotgun with Janko as he breaks in.
Just spitballin'/
