I'm not necessarily saying I would do this, but if you wanted to trying something unconventional with the 3rd line, thought Jankowski was not playing very well, and thought Bennett was a better winger than centreman, you could try Czarnik at centre. I believe Czarnik has played centre in the past.

It would just be:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Bennett - Czarnik - Neal
Mangiapane - Ryan - Hathaway

I don't know if I like that. It may be a bad idea, but its an idea. You would have to try it against some bad opposition (before the playoffs).

And it's assuming Czarnik has played centre and would be reasonably good at it. I don't know if either of these assumptions is reasonable.
