Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Mangiapane-Monahan-Coleman
Ritchie-Backlund-Pitlick/Dube
Lucic-Dube/Lewis-Ritchie/Lewis
If they sign Nick, I see the lineup shaping up like this.
I think Mangiapane and Coleman with Monahan will get him going. Two fast and defensively responsible and hard working guys.
Ritchie and Lucic are similar but I think Ritchie is a better player now just due to youth. I think Lucic would be ok with going to the "4th line" as he is a leader; plus he'd likely be playing with Dube or Lewis who are two of his buddies.
The line up isn't as exciting as having Jack Eichel but it's a very intriguing lineup.
