Our last win, and one of our only ones by multiple goals came with Bennett as first line center. Just sayin'. For such a 'terrible' center how is it that the team can even function with him playing such a significant role?

Bennett also never played 15 games this season at center. He played 8 at center(including a win ovr Anaheim, a blowout win over Winnipeg, a win over L.A. where his line was our best line on everything except the box score, a loss to the Sens where he personally dominated), and then one more against Carolina.

Bennett never played wing for any significant time in major junior. He transitioned to center as soon as he got off McDavid's line in minkr hockey. I guess Draisaitl is a winger too since he played wing on McDavid's line.

Bennett has never been given a chance to be a top six forward for this team. Saying he has 'had chances' with Gaudreau or Tkachuk is grossly disigenious. He played a handful of games with Tkachuk when Tkachuk was still a frosh trying not to get eent down to the CHL. He usually produces with Gaudreau over the course of his career, but Gaudreau is always re-united with Sean Monahan regardless.

Also trading TJ Brodie is asinine. You won't get half that caliber of player back. You're better off trading Hamonic for a LHD andmoving Brodie back to the right. Also I wouldn't mind trading Stone as he is a black hole.
