Bennett isn't a 'up and down the lanes' guy, he is an all over the ice guy. When he plays with lane guys, you often see them bumping into each other.

He needs to play with guys that can think the game and can tag-team with him (for lack of a better description). He needs to play with some guys that have a pretty good hockey IQ, and the ability to adapt with him.

I think he would look good with Tkachuk, Dube, Czarnik - guys like that. I also think he and Neal can be an effective combo.

The more I look that the lines, the more I think Tkachuk makes sense. I know that 3M is awesome, but 1) I think Tkachuk deserves to play with more talent, and 2) I think Dube would be great on Backlund's line.

Tkachuk - Bennett - Neal
Dube - Backlund - Frolik

When Bennett scores a goal, and hockey becomes fun again, I think he instantly becomes a 40-45 point guy. He's there now, just snake-bitten beyond belief.
