I think Ryan should be given more ice time than Backlund... Or at least have Backlund playing 3C and Ryan swapping FO's with Lindholm or Monahan.
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Ryan/Mangiapane/Dube
Gaudreau - Monahan - Mangiapane/Dube/Ryan
Lucic - Backlund - Mangiapane/Dube
Bennett - Jankowski - Rieder
Kind of surprised that we have not started Dube with Gaudreau and Monahan or Lindholm and Tkachuk. I think given the ice time he could thrive.
As you can see with my post, we desperately need a top 6 RW in this group. We have lacked a good one since the departure of #12.
