I really like Tkachuk - Lindholm - Dube.

It seems like the team is committed to three forward pairings: Tkachuk and Lindholm, Gaudreau and Monahan, and Mangiapane and Backlund.

The one question I have is where does Bennett play? I was really hoping he could centre two offensively gifted wingers, but that looks impossible with that top 9. So, maybe you put him alongside Mangiapane and Backlund and move Leivo with Gaudreau and Monahan?

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

I personally like that quite a bit.
