I think Poirier, if he develops as expected, could be the best fit for the Gaudreau/Monahan line. in a year or two, he's gonna put on some weight, and be roughly the same size as Iginla, and plays that gritty power forward role.
If Backlund is going to continue to play a strong defensive game, we need another top 6 offensive Center, if Reinhart somehow slides to number 4, we could have a solid forward group in a few years time.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Poirier
Baertschi-Reinhart-Klimchuk/Colborne
Agostino-Backlund-Colborne/Byron
Bouma-Granlund/Arnold/Knight-McGratton
