At this point, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Eddie Lack taking an irregular shift on Bennett's wing. Bennett has never been put in a regular position to succeed here. They put him with Gaudreau, there is instant chemistry and success. So let's not do that again.
I would settle for three games solid of regular lines.
Ferland-Bennett-Lazar, and just let them be a wrecking crew for a few games. That doesn't hurt any of the untouchables in the top six.
And centre depth wins Championships, so yes, you want Bennett at centre. The only reason to ever move him, is if Jankowski forces his way into the top 9, and there is no threat of that happening right now.
