Not really. Most coaches theses days believe in offensive line pairs.
Gaudreau and Monahan are one pair, while Backlund and Tkachuk are another.
And given how the latter two are playing right now, you have to seriously question whether the gains of putting Tkachuk up to the top line overcomes the losses you would suffer on the second line as a result.
