You've got Tkachuk on the wrong side and I don't think he's ready for first line duty. I'd rather pair him with Bennett where I can see a long term partnership. Having Brouwer with Monahan gives some veteran scoring to replace Gaudreau's.
Moving Stajan to wing is a possibility if Hamilton or Jankowski are ready but Jankowski can also play the wing. I'd leave Frolik with Backlund, they make a good pairing.
