If Bennett was a 60+ point center by now we would have been in much better shape. Sadly, I don't think he ever will be a 60+ point center in the NHL, so the question now is will Jankowski be that player we need? If yes, how long until he gets there? If no, then we need to find it somewhere else or IMO this team is really going to struggle to be a legit contender.
That's why I want O'Reilly so badly or a miracle Tavares signing.
Treliving probably feels close to the same IMO, and that's why you hear the rumors of him being involved in discussions for Duchene and Turris when they were available.

Perhaps Bennett will never be a center? and maybe just maybe Jankowski can be that 2nd line center we desperately need?
