Dube's development is exactly where it should be. Is he capable of more? Potentially? He's been given lots of playing time. There's not reason to pencil him in on the top line right now. Sure, give him the chance to play up and show what he's got, but Dube doesn't look like he's been stifled.
Bennett is more like a wrecking ball with some offensive talent (although not as much as people are pumping him up to have, he has a career high of 49 points and has put up more than 40 points once). Bennett is effective in the top 6, because he is so disruptive, not because he's suddenly developed previously untapped offensive genius.

Not sure I agree with this, I think he's just being used properly. Florida coach raved about him mentioned people he talked to around the league praising the type of player he is. Even coach Q said they hit the jackpot when they acquired Bennett. What Sam Bennett brings is what a lot of coaches want.
