Gaudreau - Monahan - Johnson
Tkachuk - Backlund - Ferland
Bennett - Jankowski - Frolik
Brouwer - Stajan - Versteeg
Hathaway, Lazar
I think too if we could flip Frolik for a pick it would be a good time to do it - there is lots of depth in our bottom 6 and Frols could command a 2nd round pick no doubt and could also be flipped to fill a stop gap if a Brodie/Johnson type deal occurred.
It could be a really good week here if certain options become available for Tre a little tinkering could push this line-up over the top.

This was good until you mentioned trading Frolik for a 2nd round pick because our bottom six depth is good. It's the opposite of good, in fact it's a huge reason we're not a better team this year.
Actually, your desire to flippantly get rid of Frolik for a 2nd just because you acquired another forward is kind of how many have viewed Frolik his whole career, he's one of those quietly strong, important pieces in a forward group.
