Ferland started on the fourth line, moved up to the third, then got top 6 time before earning his spot on the top line. That's a player making most of his opportunity. Bennett went nearly the opposite.
Ironically, if Bennett has the same attitude as his supporters (blaming his situation on his linemates and role), he's going to flounder out of this league. Luckily it sounds like he understands he needs to be personally better.

He played 7.6% of his time with Monahan and Gaudreau, and scored a slightly higher rate than normal, but statistically insignificant. Not much time with them at all.
Interestingly, he played 10% of his time with Janko and Jagr, and scored 21% of his points with them, so basically twice his normal rate.
