Well, these guys did all right with Johnny and Monny for sure. To varying degrees, but yes.
But you would be hard pressed to find Bennett’s corresponding opportunity. In 2017-18, Ferland had 71 percent of his even strength time with 13/23. Bennett had 7. Ferland had 27 points with them, Bennett had 2.
This whole argument is weak because he has not had the chance to play with top players and develop chemistry. The data is crystal clear. Just hasn’t happened
