Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal
There's a lot to tempt you to put Tkachuk and Lindholm there, but Neal is the most lethal of the 3 to be accepting Johnny feeds.
Tkachuk - Jankowski - Lindholm
A lot of intelligence on this line, and 2 players that can bring their own brand of up-tempo. Lindholm's good at seeing the ice, good at setting up plays and can maintain possession of the puck. This combo could give a Tkachuk a lot more room, and allow Jankowski to play that brand of game a bit more freely.
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
This is the smart line. Bennett has the toolset, but not the mindset to play well on this line. If Bennett can find a groove with this line, I think he's a great replacement to Tkachuk on the wing.
Dube - Ryan - Czarnik
Our 4th line is a fun enigma. I've been impressed with Dube since Canada, and have not been disappointed since.
