I'll re-iterate. At what point did Bennett ever look like he should centre Huberdeau?
You have to give them a chance together before you decide that.
This is not standard at all. You're just apologisting (is that word? It should be.) for Gulutzan. Monahan was done for the year. Bennett-Jankowski-Hathaway had been ice cold for months.
Even Mark Jankowski had more ice time centering Gaudreau and Foo than Bennett did.
I wish you would call a spade a spade for once, and admit the Flames were negligent.

It is standard coaching, though not at the end of the year, so you are right on that one.
