Last season he played with Gaudreau more than Brouwer or Versteeg. Keep in mind, though, they were still wanting him to be a centre (which a lot of Bennett advocates wanted). So when Monahan was in Bennett wasn't going to be with Gaudreau as much.

Jankowski isn’t even close to gaudreau or Monahan, especially not lately with the rookie wall he’s run headlong into.
I think I’m mostly just expressing frustration with GG refusing to give Bennett even close to the same amount of leash as anyone else on the top line wing.
Thanks for posting the usages and I think it just proves my point that they have tried anybody but Bennett if at all possible. I guess we can ignore last years usages but this year especially I find it incredible that Ferland, who has gone on some good streaks and some bad spells, has been allowed to work through it while remaining on the top line but you get one guy in off waivers and suddenly bennett gets demoted? I know they do it because they have faith that Bennett can actually drive his own line and want to keep forcing that because it does give the organization the best path to truly having a second line once he and janko develop into what we all hope they become. But GG is sewering his development in favour of a washed up Chris Stewart
Won’t surprise me when he requests a trade out of here and goes on to establish himself as a top forward in this league
