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.

Haha. The Flames literally did this to Bennett after his rookie season.
The thing that baffles me is you’re a Monahan fan yet condemn Bennett because he produces with Huberdeau. You think the Bennett/Huberdeau line has been easy to defend?
He’s clearly not forgotten, and your take is just wrong.
