Move Lindholm to the middle if you want JG away from SM.
Bennett simply doesn't have the mental acuity to play with a guy like JG whose hockey IQ is off the charts but has a very indifferent GAF metric. There is a reason the best Bennett has ever looked is with a north south guy like Lucic. Lindholm also provides the defensive awareness that would be needed and Bennett simply has never shown at C.
