Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachyk
Monahan - Bennett - Mangiapane
Frolik - Backlund - Ryan
Lomberg - Jankowski - Hathway

Gio - Brodie
Hanifin - Rasmus
Kylington Haminoc

Doesn't look too bad to me with hindsight.

It was a very young team too.
Breaking up Gaudreau and Monahan? Not having Bennett and Tkachuk together?

I agree though. The talent was there....not the coaching. The team was also mentally fragile. Partly due to the team being young. Them being slotted correctly may not have solved all the issues.
