Add that to the fact I believe Ryan would be able to get more out of his linemates while centering the 4th line than Bennett will as Jankowski's winger.
So I see your point but in my opinion the logical thing to do would be keeping the successful Lucic-Bennett-Dube line together while improving the 4th line more with Derek Ryan

It's a fair point and if we weren't in a tight playoff race with 19 games left, it would be easier for me to get behind rolling with Bennett at center on that line to truly see what you have there.
However with so few games left, I think you ice what is the best line-up you can, which for me is Lucic-Ryan-Dube. The great part is you know you have Bennett as an option in your back pocket.
