I think they know full well how good Tkachuk and Backlund are together. They've used that line a ton. And Chris Snow has WAY more numbers at his disposal than I do.

They broke up 3M because they wanted to see what Lindholm could do at centre over an extended timeframe and they wanted to put him with Tkachuk. It's worked but I think the new lines have done so at the expense of Gaudreau and (at times) Backlund.
