You know the more I think about it the more I want to see.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm (Pure Skill Scoring Line)
Tkachuk - Bennett - Neal (Gritty Scoring Line)
Frolik - Backlund - Ryan (Shutdown Line)
Dube - Jankowski - Czarnik (Young, Skilled 4th line)

I feel like we need to see if we can put together two real scoring lines, and then a true defensive shutdown line centered by Backlund. Counting on Tkachuk+Backlund to be our second best scoring line, while also being required to shut down other teams top lines, may be hurting our overall depth.

This feels way more balanced to me. And think Ryan can fit in on that Backlund line - Peters has already shifted some of the tougher competition and zone starts away from Backlund and to Ryan.
