First 3 lines with fairly even ice time...each of top 2 lines have a mix of playmaking, sandpaper and finisher. Third line a strong 2 way line.

I've been wishing all last season they would use their center depth to create 3 lines to out coach with. Obvi you don't always get your match up but with center depth you get it more often. Will johnny get bent out of shape if he's not 1st line? Did Patrick Kane?

Tkachuk - Lindholm - X
Defensively responsible + can score (start anywhere)

Gaudreau - Monahan - x
Not defensively responsible + can score (start O)

X - Backlund - X
Defensively responsible + less scoring threat (start anywhere)

Mix it up with the RWers to find some chemo.

Try something different with what you have because it's what you have. And johnny monny top line ain't gonna do it.
