"Benny, Brouwer, and Tkachuk, if that’s how we start (the regular season) you’re not getting the 3rd and 4th pairing."

That's the best part. If those guys draw the top D pairing that leaves someone else to cover the first line. And vice versa.
Having another line that can contribute more offensively is going to be huge for this team. Especially if Backlund and Frolik also continue where they left off
