Backlund being the only top 6 forward pushed to the bottom 6. 4th line is a 4th line but I like that top 9 more than what was on the ice last night

I like mangipane moving up over Bennett. Brings more skill to that line. Bennett played well with backlund and imo they would play well together. Bennett gets to the net but he has no vision. Last night he went wide beat the d then drove the net which was great but then he try to shovel the puck through Hellbyuck. Mangipane was wide open right in front of net for a second and he missed it. He also does because he's head down drive the net type. Him and backlund are great at creating lots of chances just not finishing them. They would be tough to play against and whatever offense they add is a plus
Mangipane johnny and Monahan could be great. I have very high hopes for Tkachuk lindholm and dube. A second first line would be the way to go
