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.

Do you think we need our third line centre to score 15 goals and 40ish points for us to be a team that contends down the stretch? I do. And, based on what I've seen from Bennett so far, that is unlikely to happen. I hope I am wrong.
