Like i said previously, Bennett needs to get his confidence back and there are only a few ways to do that:

play him with backlund for a number of games while dropping Frolik/Tkachuk down for a few

or acquire someone that can drive the third line (which would allow janko to drop the fourth line for a while)...like a Pageau for example

trading Bennett at this point would be silly, as his value is rock bottom; you wouldn't get much of anything for him and there's still the chance he's going to figure it out...

its 3-5 just to try getting his mojo back; Brouwer's stint during frolik's energy seemed to help him so its possible it might help bennett.
