4) People talk about Bennett never earning the chance to play with better players because chance numbers don't equal points

6) after a whole season of asinine usage, coaches yet again realize that Sam Bennett is a useful player, qnd use him half-decently in the playoffs, repeat cycle.
As for Oliver Kylington? Not a fan of the organizational mishandling of the player dating back to two years ago when we acquired Fantenberg. He's still young for q defenseman and could easily have a Duncan Keith-esque trajectory going forward.

Bennett played with Lucic in the playoffs and had 8 points...same amount as "invisible" Monahan
Play Bennett at center!
Not on that line!
League is full of guys that are better in the playoffs...style of play, how the game is called. Its not about line mates IMO, Bennett was hurt in game two...its impossible to keep that up an entire year.
