Bennett as a center was sitting around 50% xGF tonight
Monahan and Gaudreau hoverimg around 16%
You basically broke up one of the lines that was going and put a player who was comfortable centering it onto the wing of a line that's getting ####kicked.
I want lines that work, not lipservice usage. Whether or not Bennett's earned a spot in the top 6, he's doing well down the middle. Moving him back to RW is asinine.

Completely different players on completely different lines. Mangiapane is a sniper. Bennett is a center. And Backlund is a much easier center to play with than Monahan.
