Unfortunately, you are most likely right here. But, somehow, I refuse to believe that Bylsma can't see what we see. Bennett wouldn't only make L3 better, but his presence would have an effect on L2 and L4, primarly, also. L4 would get better players and L2 would have EASIER match ups with Bennett in there because L3 won't be a checking line but a third scoring line. Just like Cooke - Staal - Kennedy was. They would be able to control the puck against the opposition best line, while Sid would face their best checkers, leaving Geno a feast against the other team L2.
I really want to be wrong, but do we think DB will take out a vet like Cooke or TK for BB?
It is painfully obvious Vitale is better than Glass and he still won't sit him. Glass didn't even win a cup for him. Cooke and TK have to play at a level below Glass to be demoted for BB. Think about it... They would literally have to go out and be less than worthless shift after shift for like a dozen games...
It sucks and I don't like saying it, but whatever.
