GG needed to have handled Bennett with care as his confidence is extremely fragile. I don't agree with the first line as being a hole. Gaudreau and Monahan would have been fine with whoever is on RW they've proven it already, could they be better with a bonafide right winger? yes but its not a huge hole as is being made out; plus both those guys were on fire, there was no need to move Jagr onto that line at the expense of Bennett's development.

Becomes a tight box doesn't it?
Leave the lines and he's an idiot. Changes the lines and he's out coaching himself.
4th overall pick hasn't found it under two coaches and now has a lack of confidence and it's the coaches fault, when the coach has only scratched him once in a season and an 1/8th of work.
Not sure I agree.
