Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Ferland-Bennett-Versteeg
Frolik-Backlund-Brouwer
Bouma-Lazar-Hathaway

Not totally sure Versteeg is a fit. If Jankowski is ready to make the NHL I'd go with

Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Bennett-Jankowski-Ferland
Frolik-Backlund-Brouwer
Bouma-Lazar-Hathaway

What if the top line winger that people are wanting can be filled from within? Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Bennett would make 3 1st line wingers to me. That's enough to win with
The prophecy would finally be fulfilled!!
