I think this is the rational that makes the most sense when it comes to Ryan and Bennett.
Ryan could plop into the 4th line with some combination of Jankowski/Czarnik/Rieder/Rinaldo and keep them from drowning in their own end while generating some offensive chances even.
Bennett and Lucic showed some chemistry previously, as have Bennett and Dube. We also know Bennett tends to raise all aspects of his game to another level (or 2) in the playoffs, so if there's some chemistry to be found with Lucic and Dube... I'm all for it.
Lucic and Dube seem to feed off each other, and I have a feeling Dube is going to be our secret weapon in the playoffs. I'd love to see Bennett a big part of that too.
