I think he's great for what he is, a supporting player who provides energy. Which teams need to win. But, and I hate to break it to many on this forum, I don't think he's winning the scoring title this year.

I don't think there is a single person here who thinks bennett will win the scoring title, this year or any year.
He has transformed his game, and I think that yes he is currently a supporting player. But he is a top 6 supporting player and is solidifying himself in that spot. I'd expect, we will see some offensive uptick at 5v5 if he ever starts shooting at more than 6% and backlund does too.
Do I think he can get to be a 50 point player? absolutely, but not this year.
No one is calling for him to take Mony's position, or at least no one rational is calling for that, But do i think he has earned his spot on the second line W spot? absolutely.
