I’d sooner try Bennett in the top 6 versus Lucic at this point; we have more time and energy invested in Bennett and he could still find another gear where as Lucic is going to be settling into the next stage of his career and is better suited for the bottom six. I do think he sees power play time though and with how free Peters is with blending lines at certain times during games there is no doubt we will see Lucic take some 5 on 5 reps with Tkachuk/Backlund, it just won’t be a constant and that’s ok.
