Your 3rd line centre can't be playing more than 20 minutes (1/3rd of the game) because then he would be the 1st line centre.

I'm not saying the backup is as important as first line players, but 2nd line/2nd pairing is about where I'd put it.
The market strongly suggests otherwise. Backup tenders make a fraction of what a second line or second pairing defensemen
