I think Bennett has been a much better player this season.

To put that stat into perspective Bennett is currently the fifth most productive playerminute for minute on the roster at 5v5. You have the three guys on the top line with the Midas Touch, then you have Tkachuk and Bennett basically tied. Now consider both have been anchored to Frolik/Brouwer and Hathaway/Lazar/Brouwer instead of, well, each other. At 6th and 7th place are Backlund and Jankowski.
