I think that a non-hip issue Monahan is exactly what was missing from this years playoff roster.
If Tkachuk is the one that leaves :
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Toffoli
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
Pelletier - Monahan - Dube
If Mangiapane is the one that leaves :
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Dube - Backlund - Coleman
Pelletier - Monahan - Toffoli
That last set looks really good, and Tre can play with the defense. Hopefully at sometime during the season, Monahan is fully recovered, and the third line becomes the second line.
