Make Backlund really earn that extension. Personally I think they should try Brouwer on the right side of Backlund and slide Frolik over to left wing. This frees up Tkachuk for a shotnon the top line or perhaps play with Bennett and Versteeg on the 2nd/3rd line.
Keep Brouwer away from Bennett and preferably keep him off the 4th line as salvaging him is really the only option at this point
