Not that I don't like the play of the second line. It's that watching Backlund and Tkachuk together drives me absolutely nuts, because their styles don't really mesh. Overall talent is still getting the job done, though.
I think that Lindholm would increase the entertainment value of the line, but I'm not sure if there's a metric for that.
I'm also selfish in wanting a Joel Otto style championship third line.
