What I would like to see is:



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

Giordano - Tanev
Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Nesterov / Kylington



- Simon and Mangiapane will complement there lines I think,
- Bennett had his best season on Backlunds left wing. Everyone is happy if he can get back to what he was as a rookie year coming off a missed season due to an injury,

- Dube will be able to do a ton with Backlunds mentorship,
- the 4th line should be able to be above water more often then not,

- I think this is has the chance to grow into a 1B/1B approach on defense.



I think you are comfortable going into games rolling 4 lines with that.

That roster I think sets us up pretty well to handle covid compared to a lot of teams. This will be a weird year, I certainly wouldn't be surprised by a big year.
