Johnny-Money-Lindholm
Neal-Backlund-Czarnik
Tkachuk-Jankowski-Bennett
Frolik-Ryan-Dube

Line 1 - Lindholm will hopefully compliment the top line, providing a 2nd shot, as well as creativity. Also gives them a Right hand shot, who can take draws.
Line 2 - Neal is a natural LW, Czarnik a Right shot center who can play the right side, and brings the creative playmaking that can allow Neal to shoot first.
Line 3 - Tkachuk needs a shot on a more offensive line than Backlund/Frolik. Jankowski has show the ability to score, and score a lot when paired with skilled wingers. Bennett could benefit from having a skilled winger on the other side, so he can be more of a net front presence, rather than trying to carry the play himself.
Line 4 - Defensively responsible, but still.capable of chipping in, and shelters Dube.

Lines 2 and 3 could be deployed as 2A/2B, depending on the situation, give Janko's line more offensive zone starts and have Backlund and a Veteran Neal drive the plays out of their own zone.
