Maybe you have something like the following praying Monahan can recover:

Mangiapane -- Lindholm -- Tkachuk
Monahan -- Backlund -- Coleman
Pelletier -- Ruzicka -- Dube
Lucic -- Rooney -- Dueher

That forward depth sure looks different without Gaudreau but maybe a healthy Monahan and elevated role for Mangiapane can help reduce some of the loss.
Those lines scream "10th place in the Western Conference" to me.
