I actually don't like how these lines have been formed. I'm all for splitting up Johnny and Sean, but to totally bone Sean on linemates does nothing but keep the 1st line top-heavy and expose our depth in lower lines. Why not:
Gaudreau - Lindholm - ?
Tkachuk - Monahan - ?
? - Backlund - Frolik
Lucic - Ryan - ?
Fill in the question marks however you see fit.

I want to see Monahan and Tkachuk together for at least
a full month. I want to see Tkachuk play with another elite player and I want to see Monahan get his hands dirty.
I'm about ready to wash my hands of Bennett - he's a bottom six forward who's -50 for his career and scoring at the same place as Lucic. Trade him.
I'm almost there with Jankowski, but I want to see him get a shot on the wing in a top 6 role. See if there's at least a little blood to be drawn from this stone.
