I think people make too much fuss about the center/wing issue. A good center should be able to adjust from center to wing. The other thing is that Bennett played on the wing a lot in junior. It wasn't until his last season in the OHL that he played center more than on the wing, but he still did both.

I think what most people can now agree on is that the team just didn’t give him enough rope. It didn’t help that all the linemates turned out to be duds.
Though I’m told that a higher amount of goals and slightly less points is “awful” for a rookie.
