My initial thought is that I dislike the idea of Brouwer bringing down the Backlund/Frolik duo as they've been a key line for this team, but the reality is that Brouwer will be bringing down anybody. Might as well have our strongest pair be able to cover for that.
Alternatively, having Tkachuk and Brouwer would be nice. You know Tkachuk is going to get himself into some scrums and Brouwer will have to follow up on his younger linemate. Maybe you add Bennett in to keep up the skill and snarl on that line. Let Jankowski get his teeth sunk in an all rounder role with Backlund.
Would be shocked if we didn't see a bunch of line changes over this season unless we end up with another 3M quality performance.
