In the AHL, yes. With their 27 combined games of experience, they haven't proved anything yet at the NHL level.

I got a lot of heat from a few friends when I said that if Benson/McLeod/Marody can get some games together and find a rhythm at the NHL level they would be our 3rd line not Foegele/Ryan/Kassian.

"Best 4th Line in Hockey" is a bit of an overstatement. Potential to be an effective 4th is probably a better title. Biggest issue I see with this line-up is it's shallow in guys with PK experience.

Benson and McLeod both PK.
