So 2017-18, benny was up there for what six games? Wow some audition. Especially when it's the most grueling stretch.

But he was playing with Gaudreau. Do you remember this?

IMO guys like him only win riding shotgun. He’s a nail not a hammer.
He’s a good complimentary player who’s had the virtue of playing with a dynamic water bug in Johnny hockey...

The point was actually a lot less about Bennett, and moreso about how much Gaudreau has benefitted from playing his entire career with Sean Monahan. The fact that Gaudreau struggled as mightily as he did when Monahan was last injured speaks volumes to his value. Both Monahan and Gaudreau have helped one another ALOT; their success has not been about one player making everything happen.

Even then though, I have admitted i agree with the assessment of Bennet being a below average offensive player with other tangible skills.
