Bennett can play centre, and should until someone in the system (Jankowski) pushes him to the wing. What does Bennett need to play well at Centre? A LW who cuts inside and can skate puck up centre (as Bennett likes to get left) and a solid 2-way RW. I think he is best suited to playing with a guy like Frolik or Lazar as his RW and for LW Gaudreau fits best. Have to make lines that work together, compliment each other.
Tkachuk - Monahan - Jagr (establish cycle game)
Gaudreau - Bennett - Lazar (offense)
Ferland - Backlund - Frolik (line matching)
Versteeg - Stajan - Brouwer/Glass/Hamilton
