With the depth, and with the almost total lack of grinders, my thoughts are to abandon the idea of lines 1 through 4 (which I was never big on anyway), and go with 2 scoring lines and 2 two-way lines:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal (scoring A)
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm (Two-way A)
Bennett - Jankowski - Czarnik (scoring B)
Frolik - Ryan - Lazar (Two-way B)
Sub Mangiapane, Dube, Foo in as desired. Personally, I love the idea of Dube - Ryan - Frolik as a second two-way line.
