When Ryan got hurt for a couple games this year or when Jankowski was scratched Bennett played 3C. IMO he did quite well at the role, big physical presence always grinds for the puck. He has all the materials to be a top 6 player but his main issue is he tends tries to get to fancy for his own good. Despite his really underwhelming numbers this year he actually improved a lot but in different aspects. He was trusted a lot more defensively with more d-zone starts and PK time towards the end of the season and his physical presence mirrored that of the playoffs last year. As for skating he's about right in the middle, not insanely fast but not super slow either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CrazyFlamesFan</b></div><div>I would most certainly agree, management and fans alike are getting fed up with him. He hasn't been as good as he should be in the regular season, and come playoffs hes absolutely atrocious .</div></div>

That group has been together too long to have achieved as little as they have. To me Gaudreau is the obvious choice to shake things up. If they want to shake it up, they're trading one of Gaudreau, Monahan or Giordano. You aren't trading your 25 year old 1C, and Gio is the top Dman and the Captain. Gaudreau is the most replaceable, with Tkachuk still getting better, and he'd get a massive return. I think you call up Buffalo who is desperate to impress Eichel. Get Reinhart and the 7th overall pick and maybe more.


If they wanted to try and rebuild/retool they could do it pretty quickly and still keep a good chunk of the team together. You trade Gaudreau, Giordano and Backlund and try to be back in the playoffs in a couple of years.
