Tavares
Monahan
Backlund

Lazar
Deadly center depth, even if Backlund OR Bennett were included with Johnny.

Having your offensive catalysts at center is a better recipe for success than having them on the wing, which has been proven over and over by winning teams. The Penguins can put average skilled wingers up and down their lineup and their centers elevate them.
I would take hurting our left wing to have Tavares, Monahan, Backlund down the middle.
Then you can move Bennett to the wing full time.
Bennett - Tavares - UFA (Oshie/Williams/Radulov?)
Tkachuk - Monahan - Versteeg
Ferland/Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
