With how it's going, and with how he's the only one raising his game - why the hell wouldn't they just run with it? Really figure out what Bennett can bring. 27 games left? Give Bennett all 27. Worst case scenario, his stats take a marginal bump and his value maybe goes up a touch. Best case? He produces at a decent clip as the complimentary piece on a line with players better than him - and maybe he drags the give a damn meter up a notch or two for his linemates. Hell, he set Backlund multiple times last night only for Backlund to do what Backlund does. If that's Monahan? Maybe it's a different story.
He's a better option than Rieder/Robinson - by miles.
