Why.... why does Bill Peters keep doing this.
Either give Jankowski a chance to produce offense with Tkachuk and Bennett, or utilize Lindholm as a center for a few games.
Ryan is not producing offense, or providing good defense from the 2C position.

I believe you could swap Tkachuk and Lindholm, and move Neal up to a top 6 spot, without hurting the bottom 6.
I think Tkachuk can produce as well with Johnny and Money as Lindholm has been, and Lindholm provides some much needed 2 way play from the 2C slot, maybe he even gets Neal, since Lindholm can be a playmaker, and Neal is a sniper.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Bennett-Lindholm-Neal
Mangiapane-Jankowski-Czarnik
Lomberg-Ryan-Hathaway

or, just swap Ryan and Jankowski, I don't think Ryan is much better defensively than Jankowski, and Janko has far more offensive potential.
