Just not true. First season he started with Backlund and Frolik, and last season had Versteeg, who is also (so far) offensively far superior to Bennett. (For example, last season Versteeg had 11 more points in 12 less games.) Even Brouwer had just 1 less point in 7 less games last season.
This season everyone who has played on the 3rd line has a point except for Bennett himself. He's also 6th in icetime out of our forwards, so it's not like he's not getting TOI.
Bennetts offensive problems are his own.
