You'd have two top lines that you could roll consistently. However you want to mix and match the forwards is up to the coach. The way I look at it is JG and Monahan have undeniable chemistry, so you keep them together with a trigger man like Hoffman. Tavares doesn't need anyone on his line to be able to generate offense, but putting him with two bulldogs who are fast and can go get the puck makes sense.

Tavares is definitely a stretch, but who knows. It's a fantasy lineup after all.

Kane for under $6 makes sense to me based on his career. Guy has been nothing but hyped, but in reality is a 20 goal, 25 assist guy. Backlund just signed for $5.3, and was a Selke candidate last year with close to 60 points.
