I honestly think part of the problem with the team's depth is that I think he's being a bit wasted on that top line, and agree I'd like to see if he can drive his own line.
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Coleman
Tkachuk - Backlund - Mangiapane
Lucic - Monahan - Dube
That feels like a better balanced top 9 to me
