I'm interested to see this tried, but could see it going horribly wrong too.
Jagr still isn't in full flight mode and asking him to get Bennett going may be too much.
Jagr may actually need stronger linemates to get him going still. This line could just end up full of players who can't get each other going and don't have strong enough strength to help any of them.
