I think the Flames have a solid unit now in the Bennett-Backlund-Frolik line but I see too often the shutdown lines making life hard on our top line and wouldn't mind seeing them split up again.
Maybe run with:
Gaudreau - Colborne - Jooris
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Ferland - Stajan - Hudler
Bollig - Grant - Jones
I think Hartley will stick with his Top line of Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler though and I can't really blame him for it with Monahan heating up, they just haven't been able to heat up as a line all together.

Maybe just sit Hudler for a game.....seems so lazy at times.
