It was the end of year five and into year six that Backlund became the player that he is now. There were a lot of words like 'bust' or 'unfulfilled potential' until that time.
Next year is year six for Bennett and there is a good chance that he is given a better chance next year, since Hartley's time, when Bennett produced his 36 point season. Personally, I think that if he is put in as the 3C for an entire year, we will start to see Backlund numbers out of him, and all of this 'where he slots' and 'best KHL player currently not in the league' can be put to rest.
