(I view this as essentially two 2nd lines one getting most of the offensive starts the other getting defensive starts with the 1st and 4th both capable of playing some harder minutes as well. I could also see Lindholm and Dube being swapped to get the speedier more natural puck carrier in Dube matched up with the slower Tkachuk and Monahan who might not be as adept at hitting the line with speed and gaining entries.)
Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Tanev
Giordano - Kylington (Gio and Vali can be switched, I'm just hyped for the kid and am expecting big things.)
PP1
Tkachuk
Lindholm - Monahan - Gaudreau
Valimaki
PP2
Mangiapane
Dube - Backlund - Bennett (Any order really I'd just like to see these 4 guys get power play time)
Andersson
With Hanifin as the fill in for either Dman

Like your idea on the line up but I would switch out leivo and Dube myself. For one to see what exactly we have in leivo, but secondly I love the idea of putting Backs in between Dube and Mangi and I see it as a perfect mentoring situation.
