Do they? Gaudreau is the better player now, but I wouldn't say it's by THAT much. Konecny put up more points in less games this season, is a right handed shot, younger, cheaper, more term... if Gaudreau returns to his 99 point form then sure, but I don't know if he'll ever do that again.

I like that it includes an RD, but the problem with it is that it doesn't help at center.

Move Lindholm to center permanently, or hope Bennett is the real deal if given a full year at center with good linemates. Then sign Hall and that's a pretty great top 6.
Tkachuk / Bennett / Konecny
Hall / Monahan / Lindholm
Not sure if those are the best lines, but something like that. If Bennett doesn't work out, then put Lindholm at C and see if Dube or Mangiapane can keep up in the top 6. Looks solid to me.
