Don't worry about Bennett.
Split98 told us we should be excited about him because he had "flashes of brilliance" during the preseason. Regular season be damned.
On a more serious note, I wonder what our options are for Bennett. Is he AHL eligble (without waivers)?
Demoting him to the 4th line seems a bit counter productive.
I'd put him back with Backlund, at least for a little while to try and rebuild his confidence.
Perhaps:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Tkachuk - Jankowski - Jagr
If he gets going, you could put him back with Jankowski and Jagr. Just a thought.
