Care to elaborate? He looked very good with Jagr and Jankowski. The only reason that line wasn't more productive was bad luck, but they more than carried their fair share of driving play down the ice.
Bennett also looked good during the times when Hathaway wasn't a complete passenger. And when he got spot duty on Gaudreau's line as RW (but the season was already over). Janko was a step in the right direction but he's still fresh.
Let's not forget that outside of Janko, who had a four-goal game to close off the season, all of Sam's frequent linemates this season had abysmally bad SH%, even on a team that saw mostly regression in that area.
Your criticism of Bennett is also approaching ricardo/Dougie levels of bias. There's also that.
