I wouldn't have put Gaudreau on the 3rd line, I wouldn't want him to get P.O.'d which makes it harder to re-sign him - granted he's been a good team player so far (visibly more present on backchecks). If his production doesn't come back quick I'd keep shaking things up..

We need to develop our own version of Guentzel - give a kid like Dube a chance with top talent, a shake up should have happened a long time ago. I'd slide Backlund down and Gaudreau up with the current lines. Backlund does a lot of things right, but like Bennett in the offensive zone looks confused and gets rid of the puck quick, rather than having set moves.
