I actually believe that 2nd line won't be too bad either but Monahan gets to prove himself away from Johnny. Both Mangiapane and Dube have skill to carry the puck and speed but both play with more grit than Johnny does.
Johnny gets the best 2 players we can possibly play with him. If Monahan has been an anchor for him well we our about to find out if that theory is correct.
Just hope we don't play way out of a top pick. But a lot of great teams stack 1 line. Boston and Colorado do it. If Monahan and Backlund's line play good 5 on 5 hockey and chip in that first line should be able to score.

That makes zero sense
If the lines were Tkachuk - Monahan - Lindholm and Monahan obviously does well does that mean we find that Gaudreau was the anchor. Of course it doesn't. Playing with the two best players on the team will do that regardless of which team and what players
