I'd prefer if they would just go back to:
Gaudreau Monahan Lindholm
Mangiapane Backlund Tkachuk
Lindholm is a fine center, but overall I think the drop in effectiveness of Gaudreau and Monahan without him isn't worth it.
Given how ineffective he's been, I also think that they should consider sending Dube back down and seeing if Czarnik can carry over his impressive goal scoring from the minors.
Overall, this is a pretty disheartening time to cheer for the team. 7 years into Treliving's tenure and it doesn't feel like the team is improving anymore.
