I'll post this all season but here are his 7 most common line combinations - you will notice a trend of where his line has had strong xGF% vs where it's been bad.
Stop playing him with Lucic and Lewis and maybe you see an actual turnaround, but he's never going to help the team in that role with those linemates. |
Yeah, I beat on the drum that Bennett was never set up for success here - and that same drum needs to be banged for Monahan right now. Yeah, Monahan is not that good - but he can better than what he has been, as can the entire 4th line…with different players on it.
Lucic and Lewis serve almost no purpose at this point.
