I would suspect some time this season. You don't tie a young skilled player, that is actually producing, to the the third line. Lundell is a great young talent and needs to play with better players. The transition is very likely to take pace this season. And once that does, Sam Bennett's production falls off the edge of the earth. Go ahead. Check how many points Samwise has with Huberdeau being on the scoresheet. You can count them on one hand. You can't do it the other way. Huberdeau scores regardless of his linemates. HE makes his linemates better. Bennett? Not so much. There is a reason why Bennett's production skyrocketted when paired with Huberdeau, and Huberdeau's stayed pretty consistent. Move Lindell next to Huberdeau and you have a line very difficult to defend against. Bennett? He becomes a forgotten player.
