I firmly believe a Jankowski (as a W) - Bennett (as a C) - Czarnik line would have been absolutely dominant in those 2019 playoffs and played a completely different style from Bennett - Jankowski - Neal

I can’t agree on Czarnik. One of those skilled lower league guys who just wasn’t a big leaguer. I wonder if Baertschi and Bennett would have worked though. Or Byron. Or Poirier if he’d worked through things earlier.
