When all the forwards are healthy again, I'd really like to see a line-up of:

Tkachuk-Monahan-Mangiapane
Gaudreau-Lindholm-Dube
Czarnik-Backlund-Bennett
Lucic-Ryan-Jankowski/Frolik

Reasoning:
Line 1: Johnny has completely shied away from any sort of corner or below the goal line play, which renders Monahan establishing himself in the slot useless. With Tkachuk and Mangiapane, he has 2 wingers who will dig, and get the puck out front, but can also put the puck in the net.

Line 2: Lindholm and Dube can work the corners and get the puck back to Johnny along the half wall to drive the play.

Line 3: is a good mix of speed and grit, while being defensively responsible. Also capable of some limited offense.

Line 4: Lucic and Ryan seem to have decent chemistry, Jankowski and Frolik can cycle through, though Jankowski likely has the edge as the PK specialist now.
