There is no merit to having a checker/grinder on that line.
Skill. That's what's needed. This couldn't be more clear after watching the past 7 seasons. The RW doesn't have to be elite, they just have to be decent

They are hoping that Monahan, Gaudreau, Lindholm, and Tkachuk are effective and get going I guess. Putting Lindholm back on the top line RW just gets them back to last year and we don't really have anyone we can afford to trade for a top 6 RW. I think they give this forward core a last kick at the can.
I wish they would put Lindholm and Gaudreau together but Tkachuk and Monahan would get feasted on. Maybe knock Monahan down to center Lucic and Backlund and Tkachuk together but that also sounds bad.
