Toffoli would be a great addition as would Miller.

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Backlund- Toffoli
Lucic - Monahan - Coleman
Lewis - Ruzicka - Pitlick

I think Dube is expendable. Dube+ for Toffoli would be a good starting point. Wouldn't mind dealing Dube and a 1st, in all honesty. Toffoli's contract is cap friendly too. Dealing a 1st.. meh. We have a few forwards ready to make the jump soon in Zary, Pelletier, and in the future, Coronato. Perhaps Coronato leaves after this season. That 1st is good to trade IMO.

Now, if we got Toffoli, not sure I would want him on the same line as Mang with both having shoot-first mentalities. However, Mang has slowed down considerably so having another legitimate scoring threat on the 2nd line does wonders.

Next season, move Monahan to the 2nd line, and have Zary and Backlund transition between 3rd and 4th lines. Hopefully Zary can have full-time 3rd line designation in his 2nd year, and move to the 2nd line in his 3rd year.
