What fans feel when they talk about Bennett is frustration. It's just an argument about the cause of that frustration. The only people that I ever really disagree with are those that feel that Bennett has reached his ceiling. Luckily those posters are few and far between.

I was at a pre-season game a few years back where Bennett centered Gaudreau. I believe he had a goal and 2 assists (at least 1g,1a). Granted, it was just pre-season. There has been at least two other times I can remember (cuz I'm a Bennett fan, so I was watching intently) in the regular season where they played him as Gaudreau's center, but it only lasted a handful of shifts at the most before they were split up again. Not enough time to get any chemistry going.
