In junior, Bennett played on the wing for his first couple of seasons before they moved him to centre. But even after that, he still had a tendency to attack from the wing. I always figured he was going to be one of the countless junior players drafted as a centre but moved to the wing in the NHL. I don’t know why there was so much resistance in the organization to do that.
I don’t know if it would have made a big difference in his development, but I will always wonder.
