Yeah I like that thinking also. I do think its important to try and get the offensive confidence of our young forwards up. So whatever lines help get Bennett, Janko and Lindholm going is best for us early on

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Bennett-Jankowski-Tkachuk
Frolik-Backlund-Foo
????-Shore-Lazar

That might be the best set up to start the season barring any other acquisitions. Shelter the 2nd line and give them a lot of offensive zone starts. Let the Monahan and Backlund lines do the heaviest lifting.
