This isn't a thread about Sam Bennett though, .
YOU were the one that inserted Bennett in here to the protests of many and when you are shown to be wrong you try to change the narrative.
You keep insisting Monahan is bad at center yet Hartley, Gully, and now Peters disagree with you. You were told by Treliving, Conroy, and Peters through several news stories that Mony was not responsible for the poor defensive stats but of course you know better. I have told you time and again 90% of the problem with Johnny's and Mony's defensive numbers are the giveaways Johnny gives up at the oppositions blue line. When you turn over the puck while driving into the zone it means you are then scrambling to get back into the defensive zone and then have to get possession of the puck because the opposition just had an easy entry.
If you watch tonight's game against the Leaf's Johnny was chipping and chasing more likely because Peters has him working on that part of the game. Ironically Johnny, Lindy and Mony were getting turnovers of there own in the oppositions end. So kudos to Peters and Johnny for working on that. It also shows in these 4 players leading the team in regards to possession.

Had to add a quote that supports what I said.The Maple Leafs gave the puck away 26 times, twice as frequently as their guests.
“If our group can wrap their head around the fact we’ve gotta check and check for our chances and be proud of the way we played in our D-zone, I think we have a chance to be real good,” Peters said.
“We’re learning how to manage the puck, taking some of the risk out of our game, and if we continue to do that, we can have a good team by the time it’s all said and done.”
