Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Dube
Lucic - Ryan - Bennett
Mangiapane - Jankowski - Czarnik
LW - Quine - Philp (?)
As usual, I am assuming the Flames trade Frolik even though I like the player because of the need for cap space.
My prediction is that the 3rd line does surprisingly well with possessing the puck due to Lucic's huge rear end and Ryan's ability to win faceoffs but that it struggles to produce offence and eventually Mangiapane moves to 3rd line LW. At this point, it will produce more offence and the 4th line will be fine, plus with Lucic on the 4th line, he will take less penalties!
