I think Backlund and Frolik are solid defensive players. However, I really think that Tkachuk has more to offer than 50-60 points a season playing on a defensive first line. Let Backlund and Frolik handle the defensive responsibilities as most of their zone starts will be on defense. As for Tkachuk, let him break out and become a top offensive player. Just my opinion though as I think he can have a lot more points playing with more offensive players.
