Actually quicker than I thought and it will dispel any notion you're carrying that I'm avoiding some truth that you think you've found.
I took out the top five forwards (Gaudreau, Monahan, Linholm, Backlund and Tkachuk).
Bennett ranks as follows against the other 9 forwards (Frolik, Ryan, Mangiapane, Jankowski, Czarnik, Hathaway, Dube and Neal).
Keep in mind a rank of 1st is 6th on the team. A rank of 2nd-4th is a third liner. A rank of 5-7th is a fourth liner, and 8-9 is press box.
Goals60 - 5th (fourth line) as I said before
PrimAss60 - 1st (2nd line)
Shots60 - 4th (3rd line)
XGoals60 - 1st (2nd line)
IndCF60 - 3rd (3rd line)
IndSCF60 - 1st (2nd line)
IndHDCF60 - 1st (2nd line)
His average ranking of all ... is 2.5, the only guy to average better is Frolik at 1.83.
So once again ... and for what feels like the 7th time. Not going to make the case that he's a fourth liner.
