Gaudreau - Lindholm-Neal/Jankowski
I thought last season Neal didn’t look completely useless when paired with Gaudreau and Lindholm. A lot of it depends on what shape he comes into camp with. Another option I would like to see given a try is Jankowski. I was hoping maybe with Gaudreau and Lindholm he could bring some of the offence he’s shown on the PK(during transition).
Mangiapane - Monahan- Bennett
Here I am really hoping that Mangiapane takes a step as a playmaker. Also, I want Monahan, Tkachuk, and Neal all on different lines. Bennett is mostly here to create havoc in the offensive zone. I could see Ryan working on the right side as well though.
Tkachuk- Backlund - Neal/Jankowski
Tkachuk and Backlund work well together, and they can carry a player defensively. I also really don’t want to see Neal and Jankowski on the same line.
Dube - Ryan - Czarnik/Quine
Gives a very speedy yet small line that could pitch in.
