It's not a question of who has earned it or who is the better player.
It is a question (or should be) of which combination makes for the best lineup?
If Bennett is effective in that spot, between Lucic and Dube, and Ryan is effective anywhere, including the 4th line spot, then the lineup is deeper and stronger that way.
It isn't about either one of them, it's about winning playoff games.
