Maybe Tkacuk's basketball like hockey (turning your back and flipping pucks into empty spaces) doesn't jell with Dube's style?
Bennett and Lucic certainly play a more straight forward brand of hockey.

I feel like Tkachuk is missing Backlund...and I’m not exactly sure why, as Lindholm is proving to be quite a good centre, but the line as a whole leaves me wanting more during 5v5 play, although they haven’t been bad by any stretch.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Mangiapane
Tkachuk - Backlund/Lindholm - Lindholm/Backlund
Lucic - Bennett - Dube
Is this how our top 9 should shake out?
