If the Flames plan on keeping Jankowski around, playing him with Backlund would be far from the worst option available. But I think they'd need a right winger with some strength and a good shot to play with those two guys. I'm a huge Dube fan but I'm not sure if he's the guy I'd put on that line.
I wonder how a Jankowski - Backlund - Lindholm line would work. It would be completely dominant defensively, for one, but I think Janko and Backlund would be good at getting the puck to Lindholm.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Dube
Tkachuk - Bennett - Mangiapane
Jankowski - Backlund - Lindholm
Lucic - Ryan - Rieder
