I think the key long term is develop 5 clear cut pairs on the team and hope they get entrenched
I think Haynes wrote that Monahan and Gaudreau may not be suitable long term when Monahan moves into a productive shut down role, though we don't know that will be the case.
But for guesses ....
Monahan Hudler
Bennett Gaudreau
Backlund Frolik
Giordano Wideman
Brodie Hamilton
That's not easy to combat as the opposition. The defense pairs will be on the ice 75% of the time, the trio of forward pairs probably 85% of the time.
