Who was that? Because Neal didn't bump him. They played together on the third line.
His last two years the top 6 was Gaudreau, Lindholm, Monahan, Backlund, Tkachuk, Mangiapane. None of them were signings. And all but Lindy were home grown. The year before that was 2018-19 and his most common linemates were Tkachuk and Backlund. I guess you could argue Frolik was second line over him sometimes that year. That's the only vet signed by Treliving that you could argue supplanted Bennett in the lineup.
