Dube and Ryan are good bottom 6 scoring threats, but after that I agree it looks troubling. That's actually a good reason for splitting them up IMO, keeps some known offensive talent on each line. If Bennett is able to go playoff mode again, then him-Dube together could bring a very interesting energy line offense mix to the table (the chemistry is there, we saw in practice!)
I just hope ward doesn't get tempted to bust Bennett down to the 4th again when ryan is fully back. Knowing him he definitely will, but I think that will all but guarantee Bennett's confidence in the toilet and likely a poor showing. Not to mention our 4th line will be total dog#### without Ryan propping it up.
