And if you are going to try an overwhelm like that your centres better be Sid and Malkin versus Monahan/Lindholm and Bennett. Even on a good team Bennett is a 60 point guy. He just happens to play behind a PPG Selke guy on the top line.

Absolutely. As much as I contend that Backlund isn't a Barkov/Forsberg/Fedorov, I equally contend that Monny/Bennett isn't a Crosby/Malkin, Gretz/Mess, Nieuwy/Gilmour (edit: I mean, nobody is a Gretzky/Messier lol).
I mean, we might have been f'd either way, but my argument is that Monahan/Bennett/Becklund was our best chance with what we had.
(Also, our roster was a bit different since our best players were wingers instead of centers. It's kind of a Johnny/Monny, Chucky/Bennett combo-comparison on our side, if that makes any sense.
Completely different topic... Prime Iggy on the right side with Johnny and Monny. Man, how good would that have been (as much as I loved Conny).
