1. Gaudreau-Monahan-Neal - No brainer in my mind. Could be one of the top producing lines league wide
2A. Bennett-Lindholm-Tkachuk - Lindholm has stated a preference for Centre and has looked great there in the past. Tkachuk has proven that he can carry a line offensively. Also, this should shut people up that Bennett isn't given a chance with good linemates, if he can't produce here we know what we have.
2B. Frolik-Backlund-Ryan - We know Backlund-Frolik is already two thirds of a decent line, let's see if Ryan can repeat his point production.
4. Rychel-Jankowski- Czarnik - this line will be a revolving door based on who's playing better, but essentially it would have been the best line in the AHL last season so it should do ok as a 4th line in the big league.
1. plays 19 minutes a night
2A/2B plays 18 and 16 minutes a night depending on who is hotter.
4. Plays 7-8 minutes a night.
2A and 2B both have LH and RH Centres. 2A would be more heavy hitting in your face while 2B would be more puck control and defensive acumen. We shouldn't be worried about putting any of those lines out on the ice (the same cannot be said about a line with Janko-Bennett, as we were shown time and time again last season). I would be especially interested to see 2A's ability to forecheck. I think they would be a nightmare.
