Pretty much sums up everyones thoughts...
I still think that Bennett will need to get some time in the top 6 if thats what the organization wants him to become.
you can't develop him as a third line winger and then expect him to just become a 2nd line or top line player, he needs the TOI and linemates to truly have a fair opportunity to take the next step. It does seem like hes got better linemates wherever he's playing this year.
Also, treliving interview on the Fan this morning talked about bennett for a good 5-10 minutes and I really think Tre wants him more involved than just bottom 6. Sounds like if bennett is playing well, he will be given every opportunity to excel, and will be moved up and down the lineup as needed.
