Okay. Fixed.

Bennett (1.95)- Tavares (11.5) - Foo (.925)
Gaudreau (6.75) - Monahan (6.375) - Nylander (6.75)
Tkachuk (.925) - Backlund (5.35) - Frolik (4.3)
Dube (.793) - Jankowski (1.95) - Lazar (.950)

Seriously though - #1/#2/#3/#4 - these labels for lines is a thing of the past. William Nylander is a "#4th liner" at times by the same definition you're using. This league is about being able to score from all lines. The only team that really jumps out as a team that stacks a 1st line is Boston.

Tavares makes everyone around him better.

Gaudreau makes everyone around him better.

Split them up 5v5, play them together on the PP.

Wouldnt trade a #1 D man for Nylander. Hamilton isn't much older and creates a larger hole in the roster. Something more like Brodie for Hoffman would suffice (Brodie is more replaceable from within).
I'm with you, trading Dougie would suck. I do however believe he gets us far and away the best return. Brodie, I believe, can return to an elite level of play. Getting him away from Gully, back together with Gio, and back on the right side could pay off huge. RHD also has Andersson and Fox moving up the ranks, and the team just acquired Hamonic. I could see Hamilton being moved, though I wouldn't agree with it outright.

Stone could actually probably fetch a 2nd or third on a contending team.
I doubt this. I like Stone, but he just isn't very good.

Is this true? I did not know this.
