If the Flames traded for Zuccarello, I would actually do this with the forward lines:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Zuccarello (offensive line 1a)
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Neal (offensive line 1b)
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik (shut down)
Mangiapane/Czarnik/Hathaway - Jankowski - Ryan
When you configure the lines like that, I think the forwards are now just crazy good.
