That's why I like Scorp's suggestion of him playing with Backs and Frolik. Backs and Frolik excel no matter who they are played with it seems like. They usually elevate the play of the 3rd person on their line (see Bennett two years ago, Tkachuk a year ago). GG could use that line as his defensive matchup line and I think they'd still score mostly because of the intelligence of Backs and Frolik.
