These are the lines I want to see:

Gaudreau-Monahan-Bennett
Benny does the dirty work that Lindholm does, also gives that line another centreman for faceoffs. Benny also gives a physical presence and protection for Gaudreau.

Tkachuk-Lindholm-Czarnik/Dube
Tkachuk gets a little bit of an upgraded centreman. They've shown some chemistry on the powerplay together. Lindholm is arguably the best centremen on the team. Tkachuk and Lindholm are also good two way players so it covers some of the defensive deficiencies of a Czarnik or inexperience of a Dube. Maybe Mangiapane switches on to the RW on this line on occasion.

Jankowksi-Backlund-Frolik
Shutdown line. I think Jankowski will make a better winger than centre. These 3 guys are also the key penalty killers.

Lucic-Ryan-Mangiapane
Ryan and Mangiapane have chemistry, they are both speedy which complements Lucic well. Lucic's size complements the two smaller guys.


I think this setup puts your 5 best offensive players together and also gives some of the tweeners like Czarnik/Dube/Mangiapane some opportunities.
