If it was me, I’d like to find a way to recreate the chemistry of that line. Maybe Gaudreau on the left, Lindholm up the middle and another power forward with the same skillset as Tkachuk on the right. This team needs to get a little heavier along the wings IMO especially for the playoffs.

Well, to be fair (and you said it yourself), Monahan was saddled with Bennett. Pretty significant drop off there.
