Neal already knows his performance has to improve no matter who he's paired with. Bennett less so because he's showing improvement in areas of his game other than point production. His compete level is high, he's reduced his offensive zone penalties, he's laying hits, etc etc. but he still knows if he wants a spot long term in the top 6 he's going to need to put the puck in the net.
Or they could go with the season long strategy of just putting all the lines in a blender.
