Yes I love those lines, Bennett deserves a shot on the top line, if he can moderate those bad penalties. Gaudreau and Monahan were very good yesterday!
Last year Gaudreau had an OK year, but Monahan was not creating chances for him. This year Monahan seems to be ready for a really good season, so is Gaudreau. Simon is a pretty good player but I think he doesn't fit well with them, neither does Leivo.

Tkachuk Lindholm Dubé

Leivo Ryan Ritchie
for me.
On defense, it's true that the star of Giordano is starting to palish. He doesn't generate offense like he used to do. I would put him in a more defensive role.
Valimaki Andersson
Hanifin Tanev
Giordano Nesterov
Markstrom and Rittich is a very good tandem.
For the PP:
Tkachuk Monahan Gaudreau
Lindholm Andersson
Dube Backlund Bennett
Valimaki Mangiapane
I was in the Lucic hype, but now he makes a LOT of bad turnovers. He sure can smash body throught the glass, but with the faster play he's always a step too late. We need to play him some games, if we need muscles, but in a diminished role, and more to settle things down than for is offensive prowess. Ritchie could bring some of that old time Lucic on the fourth.
