I am a bit intrigued to see how Bennett and Monahan would do as the pair on the second line.
I really think there is still a chance Bennett can put it all together and become a top 6 player but I dont like him on RW.
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Bennett-Monahan-??????
Mangiapane-Backlund-Dube
Jankowski-Ryan-Neal
I would love it if they tried him at C one last time to see if it could work out. If he had Lindholm as a backup on his line it could be alright
Gaudreau-Monahan-??????
Tkachuk-Bennett-Lindholm
Mangiapane-Backlund-Dube
Jankowski-Ryan-Neal
Probably wont happen but IMO we have 4 legitimate top 6 forwards and Backlund who is right up there but would probably be best as a 3rd line defensive specialist. We also have Bennett who should be a top 6 and maybe deserves a legitimate shot at taking one - and not as a RWer.
