Yeah yeah, he isn't a top 6 player by how he looks out there, but he's been doing a hell of a lot more results wise than the players that have continually been getting top 6 play despite lack of production.
Coaches hate him, and Bennett can't wait to get out of Calgary I imagine.

At least Hartley really seemed to like him

Swapping out Mangi for Frolik on the 3M line (I guess it’s still 3M if you use Mangi’s last name). Backlund has been horriawful this year but he has past chemistry with Tkachuk. Hopefully Yeast Mode is the straw that can stir that drink.
Bottom 6: swap Bennett and Lucic’s spots and I like it. Would rather Rinaldo over Reider but oh well.
Wish the top pair was Brodie-Andersson as Hamonic has been completely pedestrian for most of the year. I really hope the rumors aren’t true about a Hamonic extension unless the cap hit is considerably less than what he currently makes. Would prefer trading him (+ other assets if needed) for a legitimate top 6 RW. Hanifin has been so up and down this year let’s hope he swings back in an upward direction. Kylington has had some glaring errors the last few games but hasn’t even had 100 NHL games yet so he’s allowed some growing pains. Honestly, Stone has been fine as a bottom pair guy, one of the few guys that has a bomb for a slap shot. Having Valimaki back is going to be huge.
Need Rittich to have a really strong game.

I'd like to see:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Bennett OR Mangiapane - Bennett - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Ryan - Dube OR Dube - Ryan - Backlund
Rinaldo - Jankowski - Rieder
Hanifin - Andersson
Brodie - Stone
Kylington - Hamonic
