This way in 2018-2019, he has NHL experience and will feel a lot more comfortable playing than being a rookie at 24-25.

Yeah, I don't think 4th line minutes on a good night are a lot less than 3rd line minutes. Against Anaheim, Bennett had fewer minutes than Stajan. Lazar and Glass had a couple minutes less but neither of them play any special teams, which accounted for most of the difference.
