I've wanted to believe Bennett would break out, and I still maintain a very small amount of hope... but Tinordi is right. 0 points in 14 games. Even with terrible linemates and poor minutes an impact player should be able to show that he belongs higher up in the lineup. Throw Tkachuk on a line with Lazar and Versteeg and I bet he is still able to score (hypothetical, I know). I hope with Jagr back in the lineup Bennett can benefit, but I'm worried he might be one of those highly talented junior guys that can't make the jump... I hope that's not the case, because I like the intensity he plays with.
