Bouma, Colbourne, Bennett, Tkachuk have all looked good in that spot. Tkachuk clearly makes it more dynamic but I feel like the gain you potentially get on the Janko line heavily outweighs the loss of effectiveness of the Backlund line.
Even a Frolik-Backlund-Brouwer line could be almost as effective as STL's third line from a couple years back (Fabbri-Stasny-Brouwer).... very similar stylistically at all three positions.
