I don't think it's about having a chance with good linemates as much as just Bennett just not being well suited for center in the NHL.
Center requires a cerebral and steady player who must be concerned with defensive responsibilities. Bennett is a hard-nosed, north/south player who wants to get to the opponent's net as quickly as possible. His style is much better suited to the wing, whereas Lindholm's game has more patience better suited as a centerman.
