So why are we saying neither of them can take Bennetts spot ? I think if all 3 of them continue to play good games for the last week of preason they should all make the roster. Dube, Mang, Bennett and even Janko can all share time in the bottom 6 if the two rookies can prove they are ready. Of course if they do get into NHL games and don't look ready then we can send them down. At this point tho I would give them some games to see what they can do. Maybe the last couple of games really puts Bennett on another level then them but I don't see it like that currently.

Neither of them have ever played in the NHL and would probably need to be sheltered. While Dube may be showing some offensive production he doesn't have experience yet with NHL level of play, "he does have speed which will be a great asset!" Personally I would rather have Dube and Bennett on the team than one without the other.
