I think the lines will be in a blender all year. With only 6 opponents Ward will probably tailor the line-up for each specific team we play. After playing Ottawa or Montreal or whoever 3-4 times we'll get a good idea of what works and what doesn't against each team.

For funsies though:

Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm
Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Mangiapane - Ryan - Leivo
Lucic - Dube - Simon

I think Dube has the tools to be an effective center in the NHL after a wee bit more experience, eventually supplanting Ryan and Backlund. Braydon Point lite.
