Bennett has been treated as a utility player to fill whatever short term gap this team has. IMO he is simply a LW. For some reason it’s okay for Gaudreau and Lucic and many other players in the league to be accepted as single position players, but not Bennett.
The Lindholm C trial is going very well. Knowing he works at C is vital info for the future of this team. The next thing I’d love to see is Bennett-Monahan-Gaudreau for 10 games. Give Johnny time to figure out new angles on his off wing, and let Bennett focus on what he does best.
Play Backlund with Jankowski. Maybe he gets off the snide. Maybe he doesn’t. Either way, it will give more valuable insight than plopping Bennett and Janko out together by default.
The best/worse case scenario of Toffoli is that he sparks this team to an another brief illusion of success before reverting to Brouwer v3.0 after he signs a silly extension

For all the talk of Bennett not getting a chance with good linemates, he consistently squanders those opportunities by taking dumb tripping penalities 180 feet from his own net.
