It's not like the combos I've suggested have never played together.
Gaudreau and Monahan have had a ton of success together that you are writing off over 1 poor season.
Tkachuk and Lindholm play together on the PP and Lindholm and Mangiapane played together a little when Tkachuk was injured in the playoffs.
Bennett and Backlund have played together on many occasions. Dube has played with Bennett and had success, Mangiapane has played with Backlund, witch success.
You're right this isn't a video game, yet here you are trying to slot in Lindholm who has never played a full season in the NHL at center as the teams #1 center because you think he will be an upgrade to the guy of the same age with 7 years at center and has outscored him by almost 100 points in their careers.
I love Lindholm, but dropping him in as the #1C and expecting success is nothing short of delusional.
