Nope.
He's an above average third line NHL hockey player.
No point in bringing fourth line into the discussion because it's hyperbole that's equal to calling him a second liner.
Forward #93 had 52 points this year ... Bennett isn't a first line player.
Forward #186 had 33 points this year, Bennett in an 82 game season was on pace for 31 this year. He's not a second liner, but he's close to the worst one in hockey.
Forward #279 had 21 points this year, the cut off for the best fourth liner. Bennett is well ahead.
