Interesting lines. I'm sure it's an attempt to get some balanced scoring but I will be surprised if that Dube line stays as is. Lucic will be swapped with Mangiapane soon enough.
Monahan is a real challenge to slot in appropriately. You would love to give him some linemates that can handle the puck, but he struggles in his own zone so that without some strong defenders on his line, they will just get caved in far too often. He still has good hands and offensive instincts but doesn't have the skating, motor or attention to detail defensively to elevate his line. I still think Coleman is the best winger to pair him with, just need another winger or two up the lineup in order to push Coleman down.
