I could see why Bennett would think it was an option though...that was the Flames best line in the Bubble.

They could have easily made it work and it was that way to start pre-season.
These were the lines at one point in the camp, and it changed with Dube moving up before the season started.
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Leivo
Gaudreau - Monahan - Simon
Mangiapane - Backlund - Ryan
Lucic - Bennett - Dube
So I don't think it's crazy to think that Bennett thought if he played center he was going to stick with the same linemates he had success with in the bubble last season.
