So basically the same exercise you just performed but for wherever you want to slot him in.

Backlund seems to really need Mangiapane right now.
Backlund+Mangiapane
TOI: 50 Minutes
CF%: 52.3%
HDCF%: 66.7%
XGF%: 68.4%
Offensive Zone FO: 37.0%
GF: 1
GA: 1
Backlund w/o Mangiapane
TOI: 60 Minutes
CF%: 51.0%
HDCF%: 40.0%
XGF%: 47.1%
Offensive Zone FO: 37.5%
GF: 2
GA: 4
So I'd say that the Backlund line is benefitting from Mangiapane on his wing a lot more than the Gaudreau/Monahan line benefits from having him there.
