The real problem on the second line is that gaping hole on RW that's been in need of an upgrade for years. Frolik was never the right solution and Mangiapane isn't either... no offense to either of those guys (pun intended).
We'll see Tkachuk take his game to another level when both him and Backlund no longer have to carry both a no-name stopgap RWer on their line and all the hard defensive match-ups.
