Seriously? There are hardly an examples where a team's best offensive player has a pair of linemates as good as Monahan and Lindholm.

Marchand-Bergeron-Pasta
Stamkos-Point-Kucherov (not sure if
Connor-Scheifele-Laine
Landeskog?-MacKinnon-Rantanen

Pretty much every other top line as at least one guy elevated who probably wouldn't be a very good 1st liner on his own merit (ie. not as good as Lindholm/Monahan). Johnny may find himself with a single stud who is a lot better than Elias or Sean, but I doubt the sum of his linemates will be much better than current.

We let our emotions cloud things.
Can you cite a comparable that you're basing this on?
