I feel like Bennett and Frolik should be a paring next season. Backlund and Tkachuk should be together as they just have a perfect sense for one another and they were the main cogs of the 3M line, and by putting Fro with Bennett we're giving him a legit top 6 forward that he could make skilled plays with, while also providing him with that defensively responsible presence that was absent in his time spent with Versteeg and Brouwer.
Main pairings: Gaudreau/Monahan - Backlund/Tkachuk - Bennett/Frolik
Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lazar
Versteeg - Bennett - Frolik
Stajan - Jankowski - Brouwer
Wings could be all shuffled. Say we bring in Jagr:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Frolik - Bennett - Jagr
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lazar
Versteeg - Jankowski - Brouwer
Stajan
Really deep team that also allows for a multitude of different combos and looks at 5v5, PK & PP
