I was going to try to make a well-supported case for this, if the stats bear it out, but I haven't got in done/found the stats I'd need, so here's my idea:

Gaudreau-Backlund-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Monahan-Frolik

Specifically so we can deploy it against teams with two-way first lines, on the road especially. If they want to defend Gaudreau with their top option, they'll in turn be facing a Selke candidate/possession monster in Backlund. Might even look for a way to replace Frolik with Ryan on the second line to shore up the transition game.
