Tkachuk - Bennett - Mangiapane
Nordstrom - Monahan - Dube
Lucic - Ryan - Simon
I agree but the only thing for me is I think if Gaudreau and Monahan are split up Guadreau will have to be put with Bennett as his centre. He just seems to have a style more suited to Gaudreaus where as Backlund I think needs to be the primary puck carrier on his line too. The concern then is that it's uncertain if Bennett is ready for the minutes being paired with Gaudreau would require.

I'd consider something more like
Tkachuk - Monahan - Dube
Gaudreau - Bennett - Lindholm
Lucic/simon - Backlund - Mangiapane
Nordstrom - Ryan - Lucic/Simon
