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.

Ward's job is not to make Bennett happy but to put the best possible team on the ice. Dube on the fourth line clearly isn't the best for the team.
