His two way play would be better utilized if he actually played at center. And his speed would be better utilized if the flames best players and the players Bennett had been paired with weren't so slow.
The reason he does better in the playoffs is because the speed of the game picks up and the team around him is forced to play faster, which plays to his strength. And also because the refs put their whistle away, which allows Bennett to compete better.
I still think Bennett thrives on a fast team. He'd look great in Edmonton or Montreal or Toronto or Tampa or Colorado or Vegas
