At the end of the day you need a second line to do some scoring. I'd hope they analysis of a second line is deeper than just looking at goals scored in month time frame and look into scoring chances generated vs giving up.
But you need to produce ultimately.
The stats certainly don't support the notion that Bennett is neutering Tkachuk.

Bennett is a terrible passer, more so from his general reluctance to pass. I think that hurts Tkachuk because it creates turnovers and reduces cycling opportunities.
Whoever teaches Bennett to pass more and use his will to drive the net is going to be my hockey development hero.
