Which is going to be a mistake. Bennett is the third wheel on his line. He is not a line driver and should Huberdeau disappear so will this production bump. He's in a great situation and they should pay him accordingly. Anything more than his qualifier will be a mistake they will rue going forward. Give him a prove me two year contract, because as soon as he gets moved, that scoring dries up quicker than the Gila River.
