I am not giving him the spot without earning it, but I think he will. And the lines I like (once that happens) are:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Foo
******* - Backlund - Frolik
Tkachuk - Bennett - Ferland / Lazar

For me, this balances the lines out much more

and there are lots of candidates for the Backlund line
I would guess maybe sometime mid-season we see something like this.

If Foo has chemistry on the top line like that, maybe that leaves Backlund and Frolik to shepherd Lazar, with Tkachuk, Bennett, and Ferland as the tough-as-nails line.
