One thing I dont get about the ‘need center depth’ argument with Bennett is that just because he plays on the wing doesnt mean he cant also play at center when needed. The league has lots of guys who are ok at center and then went to the wing and flourished, but most believe they could perform at center if they needed to in the case of an injury. Right now the team potentially has 4 centers that should be in top 3 spots...so someone has to go to the wing imo. Bennett, with his struggles at C, seems to be the obvious option. Seeing Draisatl play so well on the win, albeit with an amazing player, had further steeled my opinion that Bennett needs to be given a shot there with Johnny and Monahan. Ferland also hasnt played well enough imo to warrant keeping that 1RW spot.
