I voted third line - because I think he'll start there and then move up. I think adding Backlund to the third line kind of creates a 2a/2b scenario anyway.
In any case, I'm sure it's been said (I haven't read the whole thread yet), but I think having Backlund back will take some of the defensive/shut down responsibility off of Monahan and allow him to play a more offensive game again. Monahan has done great in the defensive role, but it would be great to see him get rolling offensively again.
