That line would drive opponents absolutely batty and draw penalties at a record pace (Tkachuk is already a league leader in this, and the addition of top-notch meanness/sandpaper at every position on that line could only enhance that ability). Or if Janko centered Neal and Tkachuk, the Flames could reunite the Backlund/Bennett/Frolik line that was featured in Bennett's successful rookie season. Frankly, I still find it hard to believe that we will have that quality of player on our 3rd line!

I really hope the "Bennett at Center" experiment is done. Based on the personnel that was brought in this year, I would expect that is the plan barring roster shredding injuries.
