I understand your point. So much for "always earned, yadda yadda yadda" but there are only so many buttons a coach can push to get a player going. I don't see the harm in putting him up with backlund. Furthermore, i'd be excited as hell to see tkachuk who is so good along the boards, and behind the net, to be added to jankowski and jagr's cycle game.
I think it's at least worth a try.

I see the point here, but have an issue with promoting Bennett to the second line. He has not earned that one little bit. I would place him on the fourth line once Versteeg is back. Versteeg to play with Backs and Frolik, Bennett to the 4th just to have him go against the easiest possible matchups and force him to elevate his play, which sadly is looking horrid for his draft status.
