In the end it will be a good thing, and yea I think Bennett could and hopefully does earn his way into the top 6. You know your team is well off if 5 of your top 6 forwards are 25yrs old or under and 3 of your top 6 dmen are 22 or under.
Mike Smith needs to realize he doesn't need to touch the puck every time it goes behind the net on a dump in..
I'm sick of seeing those gift goals because he just can't resist.

With left wing being his position and Gaudreau and Tkachuk on that side naturally I'm not sure top six is all that likely.
But if can entrench himself on a third line this year with talented players it's a step up on a deeper team. I think everyone would be happy with a 15 goal 40 point season on the third line.
