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

This actually has some merit to me. One of the biggest problems is that everyone on the team lets Johnny carry the puck as much as he wants. Monahan is especially guilty of this, as I can't remember the last time that he crossed the offensive blueline with the puck.
Bennett don't give a ####. He likes carrying the puck.
