That and Backlund is a 3C on a cup contender. If the goal is to win the cup, Bennett is the guy that should’ve been given the top 6 centre role. Just baffles my mind, highest pick in franchise history (centre no less) and he gets pushed down the lineup and cast into the shadows. That’s how you know the mandate from ownership isn’t winning cups, it’s squeaking into the playoffs.
