Sure. But many of us argued at the time that more ice time in the top 6, with guys like Tkachuk, would have allowed Bennett to become a better player much quicker.
They kept playing him in a 3rd line role, and sure enough, he became a 3rd line player. The talent was there, the desire weas there. He should have been playing in a top 6 role with better line-mates, and if he was, he'd still be here.
