For a line blender like Peters, the biggest thing I see is options.
Monahan and Gaudreau you know are joined at the hip. But after that, Lindholm can play center or wing and move up and down the lineup. Backlund is more of a 3rd line center, but give him elite wingers and he can hold that number 2 spot. Tkachuk can play in any situation. Frolik is now where he belongs in the bottom six with guys like Ryan, but both have the ability to move up the lineup when the inevitable injury bug hits.
All I see is a bunch of really good forwards that can move around the lineup and that is awesome.
