This is simply false and infuenced by your own personal biases against Bennett.
Tkachuk - Backlund - Bennett have spent 169.98 together 5v5 and in that time have 10 goals.
This is a rate of 3.53 Goals/60 minutes
In the last three seasons, here is a list of lines on the Flames to log at least 160 minutes and post a G/60 of 3.5 or better over that span:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm - 4.1
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland - 3.58
Tkachuk-Backlund-Bennett - 3.53
Let's look at other teams:
Edmonton:
McDavid-Hopkins-Rattie - 4.61
Maroon-McDavid-Draisaitl - 3.61
Tampa
Gourde-Point-Johnson - 3.96
Palat-Point-Johnson - 3.95
Johnson-Point-Kucherov - 3.92
Namestnikov-Stamkos-Kucherov - 3.82
Palat-Point-Kucherov - 3.51
Boston
Marchand-Krejci-Pastrnak - 4.43
Marchand-Nash-Pastrnak - 4.23
Washington
Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Wilson - 3.76
Vrana-Kuznetsov-Wilson - 3.70
Dallas
Benn-Seguin-Radulov - 3.87
Benn-Spezza-Seguin - 3.61
Need I go on?
Their "glaring lack of production" as a line has essentially been first line production.
