I think Iggy would play either on the first line RW with Gaudreau and Monahan or on the RW with Versteeg and Bennett. Ferland and Brouwer would move into the "4th line" as they can actually play those roles well.
I think Iggy would work well with both of those lines. Gaudreau obviously for the playmaking, but Versteeg and Bennett are pretty decent playmakers who cycle the puck well along the boards. Iggy could just find open space around the net for his one timer.
Plus, he would beat the crap out of anyone who takes a run at Gaudreau. That could be worth it alone. I really don't think it is a coincidence that Gaudreau is producing and playing better now that a tough bugger like Ferland is on the ice with him. It would be the same with Iggy.
