This or any combination with Bennett on the top two lines would be worth pursuing for a while I think. We know Bennett can play, and the guy needs some points to loosen up. If he could get some quality time on either of the top two lines, on the wing, we might see the guy we all loved when he came up a few years ago. He needs to find his confidence again, and maybe some quality feeds from Mony could be it. Unfortunately, I think that even if GG tried this, he would only give him a few shifts and then send him back down to the bottom six.
After watching him play the last few games, it seems to me Bennett has no confidence in his linemates. A play that sticks out to me was against the Blues the other night. He had a great 2 on 2 with Lazar, and even when Lazar opened up, he did everything he could not to dish it off to him, including trying to break through the D himself and eventually losing the puck.
At the end of the day I want to see some line juggles. We have all the pieces, GG needs to find a better way to put them together.
