Any expectations fans have for him are irrelevant/perhaps unrealistic. You’re not going produce big numbers offensively as a 3rd line centre. If can continue to develop his defensive game, and he’s well ahead of where Backlund was at the same age, then it’s a good thing.
Fan expectations are silly.

Yep totally agree. And I hate to say it but I think the only way we see top 6 potential in Bennett is if one of Backlund or Monahan get injured. I don't want that to happen obviously, but if it does, it'll give us an opportunity to take a look at Bennett and Jankowski with higher roles.
