I think the way the flames are built it would make sense to have three roughly equal lines and roll them.
That slot with backlund and frolik is a perfect spot for a rookie and I think Janko should go there if he makes the team. Throw Tkachuk and Bennett together (with someone other than Brouwer) and you have the makings of a great 1C line. Someone who can hang onto the puck and make intelligent passes would be ideal, but even a big guy with good boardplay and some toughness like Ferland would turn that line into a real pain in the ass. I think Lazar could even be a fit as a right shot though i havent seen enough of him to assess talent
