Line #1

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm

Would rather start the season with a guy who has played RW somewhat consistently instead of experimenting with Tkachuk or Johnny on their off wing. Plus another good faceoff guy when Mony is thrown out of the circle.

Line #2

Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik

3M wasn’t as dominant last year as it was the year before but they’re still great defensively with lots of potential to put up points.

Line 3A

Bennett - Ryan - Czarnik

Bennett absolutely has to take a big step forward this year. Not being stapled to guys like Stajan and Brouwer should help. Czarnik is pencilled in currently on this line but a great showing by someone like Foo/Lazar at camp could bump him down.

Line 3B

Mangiapane - Jankowski - Lazar/Hathaway/Foo

In a perfect world the bottom 2 lines would get near the same TOI with Ryan and Bennett getting additional PP time. Would love a group of young guys like this really take a good step this year.

Extra’s
Brouwer, Lazar/Hathaway/Foo

If Brouwer is still on the team he’d be an expensive scratch but I’d rather he was eating popcorn and the young guys getting meaningful minutes in the AHL.
