Geez, if you're looking at combos of centers, they're on par or better than all of those combos, and behind combos like Scheifele/Little and Kopitar/Carter. Monahan is close to a point per game player this year and on pace for 40 goals while playing solid defense. Backlund is an elite two-way center who effectively shuts down other team's top players while putting up 50 points. I don't see better combinations for the most part on that list. Plus, they're younger than most of those players.
So yeah, they can get it done.
