Foo and Ferland holding down the two RW spots, and Bennett reunited with Backlund and Frolik.

Barring an impact trade, which I'm beginning to think will not happen. The big move could have already played out with the new coach.
There is no number 2 center. Unless you mean PP?
Backlund will draw the toughest even strength zone starts and assignments. Period.

Flames need the Jankowski line (or whoever) to score a lot more. To score more like a second line anyway. And need Backlund line to score more too.
