I would like to see Tkachuk on the 1st line with Monahan & Lindholm.
They could finish all the perfect feeds that Backlund & Mangiapane usually whiff on or miss the net. Lindholm is defensively responsible on that line. This line would also provide a more physical presence. Chucky is a difference maker and belongs on the 1st line. Teams have figured out how to make Johnny ineffective.

Gaudreau should be with Backlund as a defensive presence when Johnny turns the puck over, as he often does. He could learn to be a better 2 way player there. Mangiapane could continue his trial with them.

At least it would be something different from the norm that really isn't working.
