A Mangiapane - Hertl - Coleman line would be pretty solid, behind Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk.
That leaves Monahan as the odd ball out… however, if you can get Hertl, IIRC he can also play wing. So, have him, Lindholm, and Monahan rotate the top 2 center positions:
Gaudreau - Lindholm/Hertl - Tkachuk
Hertl/Coleman - Monahan/Hertl - Coleman/Lindholm
Dube - Backlund - Mangiapane
Lucic - Lewis - Pitlick
Ruzicka
Moving Mangiapane down to the third line with Backlund and Dube would be ridiculous depth
