Great question, and a good answer for what Peters is trying to do. It appears that Bennett is better away from the current lot of third linders that he's been lined up with. Maybe he can help drive the 3M line back to scoring on five on five basis.

Not sure what those numbers mean exactly so be patient with me.
Is it possible that a player that goes to the net a lot more than his linemates would creat this result in numbers? As in events in the home plate.
What im getting at is that I think that Bennett is a bit selfish and he ends up taking the puck towards the net without using his linemates. Which may be good on surface, but he seems to panic and lacks finish, thus it's counter productive. This makes his home plate presence, shot stats look good while his linemates barely register.
It's kind of my impression of him. Plays hard but with blinders on,takes the puck and gets himself in trouble by hitting traffic in front or gets chased to the boards.
Would be nice to see a compilation of his goals from year 1 to see how his game was then.
