The only person on the second line that's producing is Tkachuk, that needs to change.

I think Backlund is/does his best work on the thirdline as an elite shutdown guy who chips in 20/20.

Something like Stone, Czarnik, 1st for Duchene

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Duchene-Neal
Bennett-Backlund-Frolik
Dube-Jankowski-Ryan

Giordano-Brodie
Hanifin-Hamonic
Valimaki-Andersson

Rittich
Smith


That's a scary team.
Backs is on pace for 54 points... that’s 2nd line scoring numbers for a lot of teams; the vast majority, not sure what more you could ask for from Backlund and honestly if you put a guy like Neal on the right side of those two you could see them all push 60 points IMO. As nice as it would be to add a Nylander or Duchene the more time moves forward the more I realize the need for top goaltending to really push this team over the top.
