I don't ever question Bennett's work ethic, he just doesn't have the on ice vision to be an effective top 6 player. The quicker he realizes this, the better it is for him IMO. He should just settle on the fact that he'll always be a bottom 6 forward, and work to improve on that.
What's frustrating about Bennett's play is he still makes those junior moves where he just drives to the net regardless of if there's a lane or not, rather than knowing who else is on the ice that he can pass it to. His on ice vision is pretty much just tunnel vision in front of him.
