I agree that Bennett and Dube make a good pair. They play the game the same way and both like to use the whole ice surface (no up and down the wing here).
There are two ways to build a winning team: better top-end talent, or more depth. If they can elevate a 3rd line, they are going to look a lot better.
Not sure that Lucic can play at that pace all year, but we'll see I guess.
The other point to consider here is that, if Bennett settles in to the role, Ryan could be movable if you need the cap space.
