Did they make some bad coaching decisions? Probably.
But was a mistake to play Tkachuk with Backlund and Frolik? I don't agree. I think it's one of the reasons he developed into the player he is today.
Gaudreau got 115 points and the Gaudreau Tkachuk Lindholm line was best in the league

What then is elite?

I agree about the 3M line, when Monahan was 1C
