IMO that depends on Ferland as well. If he can still score 20 playing with Jankowski, then having Bennett score 25 on the top line is a win for everybody.
Tkachuk - Janko - Ferland or Bennett
Is the line combo I would like to see take off, and could really give us that Tampa Bay style second scoring line at a low cap hit.
If we land a top line player, it's conceivable that ends up a line with Ferland pushed down, but if no big fish are caught, Ferland might look really good on a line with Tkachuk and our biggest centre, which would open up a top line spot for Bennett.
More likely they run the 3M line again, so Tkachuk can continue to learn about defensive defensiveness.
I'm just rambling now. Sorry.
