IMO Backlund is their best centre and finally came into his own toward the end of last season. He'd easily have eclipsed Monahan's point production last year, if he was on a line with Gaudreau and on the 1st PP unit.
I got a lot of flack for saying this last year, but I would have been shopping Monahan around at the deadline. His value was high, and I figured he'd want $6+ with term. Backlund is good enough to be #1, and Bennett is the centre I'd want to mould into a future #1.
