Looks pretty damn good to me. Should really be pushing for the division if we sign Williams and get top 20 goaltending.

I like these lineups, if there was a way to get rid of Brouwer, maybe loan him to a league in Europe. I also Foo was promised a spot(that is why he signed here), could be wrong.

By all accounts (and past history), Foo was not guaranteed a spot.
However, the Flames likely said that there are open spots and all he has to do is earn one.
I believe he will earn the spot beside Johnny - and if so, it will be glorious

You are probably right. It is good we signed Foo, he reminds of Justin Williams(plays the same style.)

That is pretty awesome. If we can afford it -> get 'er done! Somehow you magically shipped-off Brouwer though.

Honestly, I don't understand why so many people are hoping to break the MMM line and see Tkachuck out of it. For the first time in a while, we've had a solid 2nd line. Why break what's working???

3rd line was ####.
Moving Tkachuk to the 3rd line will be a bigger addition than the subtraction of him on Backlunds line.
Net Gain.

Even though the 3M line was lights out, I think many people believe that a number of players can succeed with Backlund and Frolik. I think Ferland, Lazar, Versteeg, or even Jankowski could do well there. If so, it allows Tkachuk to move around the lineup and make other lines better.
I'd love to see:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Tkachuk
Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
Ferland - Bennett - Versteeg
Hathaway - Lazar - Brouwer
All 4 lines can do damage.
Then,
Giordano - Hamilton
Brodie - Hamonic
Oduya - Andersson
Smith
Lack

This is very arguable though. Again, this was the first season Backlund played so well consistently. Hard to argue that Tkachuck wasn't the primary catalyst/reason for that.

Stealing someone elses but;
Tkachuk - Monahan - Ferland
Gaudreau - Bennett - Versteeg
Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
Stajan - Lazar - Brouwer
With those top three lines and our top 4 Calgary will be a nightmare to matchup against. I don't even know which line will be best.

What would it look like if today's buyouts were to make room for Joe and Marleau?
Gaudreau Monahan(A) Bennett
Tkachuk Backlund(A) Frolik
Marleau Thornton Versteeg
Ferland Jankowski Lazar
Stajan
(Trade Brouwer for pick and/or #5/6 D?)
Giordano(C) Hamilton
Brodie Hamonic
Kulak Stone
Bartkowski
Smith
Lack
Edit: Super-redonkulous chance of this happening, but jeebus, that would be a pretty crazy 3 F lines and top-5 D.

I'd make the last line Lazar-Stajan-Brouwer and if Janko forces their hand, they find a way to get rid of Stajan. I also don't see Kulak as the #6, I think they'll end up putting a guy with a higher up side like Anderson there.
