Fair points; There are things Matt can do that the other 2 can't. He is elite in some things and probably on Maurice's advice took it easy the last season after those injuries. It was said that Maurice dialed back Bennett's game and told him to pick his spots until the playoffs rolled around.
Matthew Tkachuk didn't need to be scoring goals last season he just needed to be ready for the playoffs and scored some game winners early on.
