Even from a basic concept, Bennett plays best with puck carrying speed (Gaudreau, Backlund, Frolik, even Mason Raymond that one year and to an extent Joe Colborne). Jankowski is a good linemate for him but their RW all year has been a poor fit. Jagr was the best option but speed was non-existent.
Bennett on the wing gets two points in the first period, Bennett as a center zero points in 18 games.
“Quick get our 55 point center to wing and move Bennett back to centre”
It makes no sense at all and yet despite all the proof it still gets suggested.
Bennett never played 18 games at C this year. He has played two since Jankowski's callup - the W where Jankowski was scratched and Bartkowski was awful, and the blowout W over Carolina when Monahan was sick.
Of the other eight, He was awful in one of those (@EDM), and excellent in many others (OTT, VAN, WPG, ANA) and unlucky not to have a point. More importantly the team was winning during that stretch because Bennett offers more than points down the middle.
If it isn’t 18 games it was certainly more than enough to see he is having better success on the wing.

He has better success with better linemates. he does not have better success on the wig.
