He's earned a shot to play with offensive players, and that's what he should be rewarded with. Perhaps his role is as 3rd line centre with good wingers next year, but he's earned PP time. Dude has one of the better point shots on the team and can actually one-time a puck.
If Bennett doesn't get rewarded, this team is truly lost.

I think that’s fair enough. I don’t think he’s developed as hoped (his or teams fault or varying combo is debatable). So my point was realistic at this point he’s probably what he is. Agreed he should get his sip of tea early in the season to be higher in the lineup but again, I think his plateau has been reached).
