I love this Bennett to the wing stuff.
Because he played there for an entire 11 games, he clearly is the right choice.
You don't toss a 6'1'', and likely 205lbs (when all said and done) high caliber offensive catalyst with high IQ on the wing. Not unless he's forced to play there by someone who surpasses him in IQ and skill; which at this stage, is no one in our prospect pool or roster have the capability to.
Bennett will likely start the season as the third line centre; like Bob Hartley has suggested; much like Monahan did in his first season. He'll likely be the 2PP unit's LW along with Backs and Frolik.
We are all aware we're not out of the woods yet right? Like, we don't have the luxury to be tossing natural centres on the wing like San Jose or Chicago have been doing for years; maybe some day, but I think Bennett will be our 1A/B Centre before too long.
As for Janko, let him keep stewing; and we might get a good NHL'er out of him in a couple more years.
