Get Brouwer out of the line up, put Versteeg on the 4th with his PP time and have it be Jankowski - Bennett - Jagr. Stop being so rigid with wing/center GG. Guys who've learned the game at center won't forget it overnight.
Someone mentioned Jankowski spent his 1st season with the Friars at left wing, it's not going to hurt him in his rookie NHL season either.

I agree. But I would alternate Tkachuk and Jankowski on the LW with Bennett and Jagr this season. Tkachuk needs to tutelage in cycling too. When one is not playing with Bennett/Jagr they play with Backlund/Frolik to master the checking role.
Only our younger players should play with Jagr.
