Toews and Kane play on different lines, except on the powerplay.
But yeah, I also like the idea of Monahan/Gaudreau and Bennett/Baertschi. I think you would want Gaudreau and Bennett on different lines. Both are great at carrying the puck into the offensive zone (Monahan isn't), so to have one of those guys on each of the top two lines would be ideal. And then you could have Backlund on the third line, who is pretty good at gaining the zone himself.
