Next season (or after the trade deadline) I'd like to see:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Ferland - Jankowski - Brouwer
Hathaway - Bouma - Chiasson

I am intrigued by that lineup but it supposes Jankowski is ready. Have yet to see that at the NHL level.
But you left out Stajan who's not going anywhere until his contract expires.
