Everyone and their dog wants to see new lines. I understand keeping the same lines for the first game or two, not to throw too much chaos in there. If a coach wanted to set a new tone, you could always make one or two radical changes and see if you get improvement from unexpected sources.
How about this, when healthy... Moving Backlund and Jankowski to the wing.
Tkachuk-Monahan-Mangiapane
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Backlund
Lucic-Ryan-Dube
Jankowski/Frolik-Bennett-Czarnik
I reeeeeeeally want a shakeup of the lines, and I understand this is extreme. You do that, and my selection for a bounceback is Gaudreau, Backlund and Bennett. Roll four lines.
