Thachuk - Monahan - (ANYONE BUT Chaisson): I feel like Monahan could use a pest on this wing right now to get some emotion back. Not that he's been bad, but he really seems checked-out.

Gaudreau - Backlund - Frolik as a second unit, try it out for a while...

And move Brodie to the right with Gio. Just sayin'
Don't disagree that Backlund and Frolik complement each other very well, but Tkachuk has definitely made his teammates better. Remember the pre-season when Tkachuk-Bennett-Brouwer looked so promising?

I think Tkachuk-Monahan-Gaudreau has potential -- put Johnny on his off-wing in transition and let Monahan and Tkachuk work below the dots.
