I agree but think there is one more option that should be looked at, Czarnik-Bennett-Frolik, as it would give us a speedy line with good defence and at least some promis of offence. This would also solve a problem you mention in a later post below.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuck-Backlund-Neal
Czarnik-Bennett-Frolik
Three of the remaining four who are playing the best.

The best players with tight hands are Neal, Monahan and tkachuk.
PP1 - still amazing talent wise w/o tkachuk.
Johnny - right side wall - quarterback
Lindholm - left side wall
Monahan - centre
Neal - garbage/tip man
Giordano - up top
PP2 - tkachuk is a better garbage man than Neal, but the PP2 needs tkachuk real bad
Tkachuk - right side wall - quarterback
Andersson - left side wall
Backlund - centre
Bennett - garbage/tip man
Brodie - up top

PP1 - doing fine but could use a shake up, maybe we could put Neal or Bennett on it and as you say move Tkachuk to the PP2.
Johnny - right side wall - quarterback
Lindholm - left side wall
Monahan - high slot
Neal - garbage/tip man
Giordano - up top
PP2 - I really think that PP2 could use a right shot who is not on the point.
Backlund - right side wall (has a great one timer which is never used)
Czarnik - left side wall - quarterback
Tkachuck - high slot
Bennett - garbage/tip man
Andersson/Brodie/Hanifin/Stone - up top
