Also I think that it time change the powerplay units.
To more traditional units. I think we don't the the talent up front to use 2 eatra forwards on the pp.
Here's my lines.
Gaudreau Monohan Lindholm
Tkachuk Backlund Jankowski
Bennett Ryan Frolik
Neal Hathaway Dube/Czarnik
Giordano Brodie
Hanifin Hamonic
Andersson Kylington?Valimaki
Rittich
Smith
PP1
Gaudreau Monohan Lindholm
Giordano Brodie
PP2
Tkachuck Backlund Jankowski
Hanifin Hamonic
Hamonic and Hanifin are better Neal, Ryan, or Czarnik, on the point.
Next Pk unit could change with these as well.
PK1
Backlund Jankowski
Giordano Brodie
PK2
Ryan Bennett
Hanifin Hamonic
Pk3
Monohan Lindholm
Andersson Kylington
Next what to do at the trade deadline. I think dealing with Ottawa would good for maybe a low dman like Stone, Smith and a 2nd round pick for Dzingel, And Nilsson.
Nilsson is younger then Smith, Stone barely played all season.

I am perfectly happy with the 3M line as of last night. No other combination tried to date has been half as good as the original 3M line.
Jankowski has really grown this year and with continued responsibility, will grow into a very good 2C or 3C. I would not like to mess with his development.
