I like most of this, but I would switch McMann with Knies and Brodie with Benoit. Knies has played in the top 6 because it's clear he can keep up with stars' decision-making/pace. Plus, we saw last year against Tampa how well Tavares-Knies could cycle together. I also don't think that McMann relies upon his linemates to generate his offence, which is why I think his production would decrease as much as Knies by sending him to the 4th line. Brodie should be in and out of the lineup in R1 based on injuries/performance, but Benoit-McCabe has been a solid pairing the entire year and there is no reason to deviate from what has worked time and time again.

Kampf with Marner can't happen... I'd rather have Knies-Holmberg-Marner or Knies-Jarny-Marner or Knies-Dewar-Marner
