The way I see it, effective lines these days typically have three roles: Passer, shooter, utility.
Gaudreau (passer) - Monahan (shooter) - Lindholm (utility)
Tkachuk (passer) - Backlund (utility) - Neal (shooter)

Agreed, this is how ive had the top 6 pencilled in for a while.
The other thing i like here is Neal's grit on that second line. I think he and Tkachuk would have good chemistry as well.
