Point taken, I think given added responsibility at the NHL level the move to center has been a challenge for Bennett. Tkachuk might have struggled in his current role if not for have great support on his line. My point still stands saying that learning new things can be a challenge and a set back for a young player. Obviously the coaches wouldn't be doing this if they didn't believe in Bennett's abilities but now we have some options we didn't have before. The Flames may feel they have the time and patience to develop Bennett at center but I actually think putting Bennett on the wing and try developing Jankowski at center might have some merit. Could strengthen the team but giving us more options throughout the lineup.
