Looking at their forwards, I think Bennett could probably play in their top 6 and produce a lot more than he does on the Flames.

No, they are not.
The Coyotes have between 2–4 games in hand on every team in their Division, and they are five points out of the #3 Pac Div seed. A record of 2-0-1 in their next three games would set them tied in games and points with SJ, but with one more win. Arizona is one of only three teams in the Division with a positive goal-differential, and one of four teams in the Division with an equal-to or better-than 0.500 W/L record.
They appear far behind by virtue of a light schedule, but the Coyotes are right in the thick of it with SJ, Anaheim and VGK for those #2–3 Division spots.
