Yes, because he was not a top 6 forward and they wanted to try to win. This isn't a good sign for Bennett.

Both examples show a sophomore slump, followed by a bounce back season. In the case of MacKinnon he put up a pro-rated 60 point pace, not exactly comparable. Bennett dropped to 11 goals in his third season. Bertuzzi is a bit more fair, but still a 35 point pace in his third season is comparable to his first season and better than his second.
