I get that Bennett is our highest pick ever and we want him to succeed, but he did not earn that spot, so lets not act like its some kind of travesty that he's been put back where he belongs. It also spreads the talent out a little bit.

Oh, but Stewart did?
Bennett has looked great there in the two games they have tried it.
Stewart has been a healthy scratch for a month. IMO, it would make a little more sense to ease Stewart in on the 3rd line, and leave Bennett alone while it's working.
I get trying to catch lightning in a bottle with Stewart, but saying Bennett hasn't earned it is the height of irony.
