I wouldn't mind this:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Hudler (don't break up a good thing).
Bouma-Bennett-Colborne/Jones (offensive/defensive balance - give Colborne the nod if it looks like he and Bennett might click)
Byron/Jooris/Granlund- Backlund-Colborne/Jones (Checking line)
Ferland/Raymond-Stajan-Shore/Bollig/Poirier, etc
Everyone wants Raymond gone, but I could see a comeback year. The big issue is that he's never been good enough defensively, so he's either got to be sheltered with Bennett or a 4th line guy.
