It would be awesome if some of the people crapping all over the player would watch the games instead of the statsheet. The answers are all there, and have been laid out in this thread and others. What you see on the ice is directly reflected in how Bennett is utilized, which can then be read on the statsheet. Skipping past the poor utilization paints only part of the picture.
Lessons can be learned from moving Backlund from the wing back to center. When the same thing was done with Bennett, a similar bump in the quality of play ensued. For some reason, there is a stubborn demand for Jankowski to stick in the center position. I believe that is hurting the team.
