Cammilleri- Pleks- A.Kost
Pouliot- Eller- Gionta
Max Pac/Lapierre/Moen- Gomez- Boyd

or the same thing, but with Pleks/Gomez switching spots...

I really want to see Eller get a proven goal scoring vet on his wing to start the season, and with both Pleks/Gomez well suited to play on a more shut down role (and hopefully ego's willing to play a consistent third line role, + PP time), I'd prefer seeing one of them centering our bottom 6 wingers thus allowing Eller to play with better offensive wingers.

If he is the real deal, that could be our best combo... neither gomez/pleks have the pressure of putting up points to earn their next contract, so if they can buy into it, using one of them to bolster the bottom 6 while allowing Eller to benefit from the ice time/linemates of a top 6 role, assuming he's up to it, would be better than forcing him to break into the league trying to carry a line offensively.
