Theoretically he should be a fit on the top line as he can forecheck/battle well (like Ferland did) and has experience at faceoffs to spell off Monahan if he's waived out (like Lindholm does); he just unfortunately hasn't done enough to warrant an extended look in the eyes of two separate coaching staffs.

Agreed about Bennett. I like Bennett for what he is, but I think his lack of development has hurt us, as I think they were waiting for him to breakout for 3 seasons, and didn't make other moves as a result.
