It's tough. I don't see where he fits now. I thought he'd be a good replacement for Bourque, but Bourque has played too well.
I don't see Galchenyuk replacing Prust. No way. Prust is trusted in a defensive role next to Plekanec. That's not the line for Galchenyuk. The only thing I can think of is: put Galchenyuk with Eller and Bourque, and put Gionta with Plekanec instead of Prust. Gionta is trusted too, so that works. Then Prust goes to the fourth line.
Problem there is that both Gionta and Gallagher are RWs.
But that's the only way to do things, I think.
EDIT: another idea is to keep the top three lines intact, and put Galchenyuk on the fourth line with Briere in place of either Bournival or Weise. Make that fourth line into a scoring line, since the team already has two solid defensive lines that are more trustworthy as it is.
