Are you implying that Beniers isn't getting offensive opportunities and therefor is the reason why he isn't producing? Because as I recall, he's been on PP1 for the entirety of the season and is getting prime offensive deployment at 5v5 as well.
By your own logic, Kakko is pacing for 54 points/82 games in Seattle. Schwartz is pacing for 47 points/82 games. Beniers is pacing for 45 points/82 games. Both Beniers linesmates are currently outproducing him despite Schwartz not getting PP1 minutes.
Caufield is now, but he wasn't back in the day.
I'm saying that Beniers is producing at roughly the same rate at ES as 22 year old Suzuki did, despite having arguably worse wingers. I also know that being one of 4 or 5 decent options on the PP1 doesn't mean you've got the puck on your stick as often as you would if the other options were depth guys playing above their paygrade due to injuries.
And Caufield was still pretty good then, even if he was still adjusting.
