So I think we all agree then ....
35 points is the NHL average 6th forward. Maybe Bennett can get back to that ... maybe he can't? This year is the experiment though as last year he never got a sniff at the top six for more than a handful of games.
Either way he's adding value by generating or sustaining chances.
Last night Peters on the post game show said something to the effect of "he's generating chances to the same level as our top guys. Good to see him rewarded"
They're seeing the same things.
Right now he's a top six complimentary player on this team because he's the best option they have. That isn't a sob story when you have the top four they have though.
