I love the idea that Peters raised, about the possibility of Tkachuk playing 1st line RW and Lindholm at center. It would open up two potentially legitimate scoring lines, and Backlund could then be on a true shut-down line. Reduces Backlund's potential impact but has potential to be a net win.
Anyways, I wonder if Bill is throwing things like this out there as a bit of a tease for Tkachuk, to entice him to get himself to camp. "Maybe you could play on the first line if we can build some chemistry during preseason, but not if you aren't here".
