I do lean to finding three lines with some balance this season though, I think that would make the Flames a very tough team to defend; three lines that you have to watch and essentially three defense pairings that won't give you a shift off.

I tend to agree, but with the caveat that I also believe that Brouwer could be a competent contributor to an excellent top-nine. If he is better this year than he was last year, then by extension Bennett also stands to gain from this internal improvement either directly or indirectly.
