If they want to build a shut down line Frolik is the better option, if they want the speed/forecheck a motivated Bennett is the better option.
Neither would be needed if Neal was a fit there.

Maybe not, but he is certainly more likely to put up points than Bennett and is unequivocally better defensively. I can see Frolik getting to 40ish pts with a full season of Backlund and Tkachuk....assuming healthy. Bennett looks like he will never be able to do that.
Agreed that Neal should be the easy solution but when has anything come easy for this club?
