I'd be down with a Reinhart-Monahan setup in the middle, who'll both likely top out at 60-70 point guys, from what their talent levels suggest.
As long as we have some highly skilled wingers that can rack up the points, I'd be even more confident with a couple centers in the mold of a Bergeron than some flashy point getters.
I feel that Gaudreau will be one of those top skill wingers for many years. Whether Baertschi, Poirier or Klimchuk step up to become one of the others shall be seen. But I think at this point that neither of the three have elite instincts, hands and skills quite like Gaudreau. But I think Poirier and Klimchuk are still developing/maturing their offensive games and only appear to be getting better in that regard. Sven is looking more and more like a 2nd line playmaker to me. We need some pure goal scorers up here, though.
