Of the three of those options, I’d rather keep the two guys in their mid-20s and trade the 30 year old who still has 4 years left at 5.5M per.
I’m just saying. I like Backlund too, but logic is logic. Lindholm is more than capable of taking Backlund’s spot.

Tkachuk is almost never played on the RW. I’d imagine it’s because he doesn’t like it. And he had zero success with Johnny and Monahan (or with Gaudreau and Lindholm)
