In the absence of a trade (which will probably be tough to make right now) I wouldn't mind seeing:
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Mangiapane (All guys work hard, have talent, and play with a bit of bite)
Gaudreau - Monahan - Ryan (Add another puck carrier to help Gaudreau, and a responsible defensive forward to help Monahan)
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik (Let them take third line minutes where they just need to focus on other teams top lines)
Lucic - Jankowski - Reider (Jankowski + Reider have actually been good together)

I was thinking on this last night and these are the lines I had too. Although I really think Frolik might be better served in the press box.
I think the Flames should really get Lindholm and Tkachuk together on the top line. Mangiapane makes the most sense as their winger.
