Plus, they're younger than most of those players.
So yeah, they can get it done.

Marchessault / Karlsson 44 goals 88 pts +48 combined
Monahan /Backlund 31 goals 74 pts +8 combined
If the Flames end up playing the Knights in the playoffs who will be shutting down who?
would any of the contending teams be lining up to make Backlund their #2 C?
