I like Bennett for what he brings. But this signals to me that he still thinks he can be a top 6 player, versus a third line grinder. Which is too bad because I think he is/can be a very good third line grinder, but moreso in the playoffs it seems. I think the top-6 boat has sailed for him.
He was more noticeable tonight, and I did see him get some PK time. That’s good. Hopefully he continues to play hard; if he starts floating out there he won’t be doing himself any favours. I think that’s unlikely though.
