I do think the Flames "could" be deeper with Bennett centering that third line and Ryan moving down ... and I'm not suggesting that's on merit.
Bennett seems to have chemistry with those guys and Ryan would have a bigger impact on improving the fourth line than Bennett would.
Team would have less of a drop off this way in my opinion.
Add in the fact that Bennett is likely to elevate his aggression again given it's playoffs and the effect that could have on Lucic would be fascinating.
