To flesh this out ...
Jankowski, Ferland, Bennett, Frolik, Shore, Lazar, Mangiapane, Dube, Foo should be enough to make a bottom six pretty formidable to be honest.
But Monahan, Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Backlund is two players short.
Brodie for a guy in to add to the latter group, essentially means you only need one of Jankowski, Bennett, Ferland, Frolik or Foo to be the weakest link in the top six. That seems doable.
Redo that list without Brodie bringing in a top six though and you have two players to be in a top six essentially rendering the second line with two players potentially over their heads.
