One thing I have wondered is who is really driving the 3M line? I tend to think it is Tkachuk and not Backlund.

Well, it's not Frolik.
Whoever plays with Backlund, whether it's Colborne, Frolik, Brouwer, Tkachuk, whoever, improves. He's a centre that can hold onto the puck and distributes well.
Were they ever to decide to play him with Gaudreau, I wouldn't hate it.
