Ward wants Bennett at centre.
If Bennett and Lindholm are at centre, I want the following lines for 2 two-way players on each line, 2 good skaters on each line and Monahan on his off wing for one timers.
Gaudreau - Backlund - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Lindholm - Monahan
Dube - Bennett - Leivo
Lucic - Ryan - Simon
I’ve posted that before and ppl haven’t liked it, but I think that lineup has a chance to be very balanced.

If they want Lindholm and Bennett at Center, there's gotta be an odd man out. I just don't see a strong willingness of a team to take Ryan. As good as he is, he's a $3M 3rd/4th line center on most teams in this league, which just doesn't seem that appealing, especially in the current market conditions.
Is this hinting towards a Monahan (or less likely due to NTC, backlund) trade coming before the start of the year?
