Bennett and Poirier would make perfect linemates IMO. They're not enforcers or 3rd line grinders so they don't need to be huge.
What they are is determined, talented, fast, and nasty.
And that makes them perfect to play against other teams' top lines. It's like Marchant embarrassing the Sedins. These guys have the ability, as well as the demeaner, to not only annoy other top players, but then also out-play them.
They could be 2/3s of an absolutely awesome top-vs-top line.
Then you come back with Monahan and Gaudreau!
