Bennett is below all these players imo. Until he proves otherwise he was a poor pick in hindsight. Stop the excuses and #freejanko
I completely disagree with your take on Bennett, I believe and the coaches and GM have said as much that they wanted Bennett to focus on his responsibilities as a center. He is not being asked to score goals and the coaches and GM have not indicated they are disappointed in him so your just lighting matches trying to start something that supports your opinion. Bennett does not need to be thrust into first line expectations because we have a first line. There are countless players in the NHL who are goal scorers but asked to play the role that fits the team needs.

Check out Miss Teeks news thread; if you have a chance read what Backlund had to say about why he didn't start playing the way he does until last season and you will get a sense of what they are trying to do with Bennett.
