Bennett has been great this game

Moving a defenseman up is not a good option. Just because it works with Burns does not mean it will work for others. Burns is on another level. Bennett has not been consistent enough for this season to bring him up on the second line. I don't disagree that Brouwer is not a good option for the second line I just don't think we have anyone else to take his spot this season without Tkachuk. A healthy line up probably has Brouwer on the fourth line like he has been for most of the season when our forward group was healthy, outside pp time.
Edit: Plus if you put a defenseman on forward their play will suffer from fatigue.
