I think they are trying to replicate what Tampa Bay had with Coleman-Gourde-Goodrow.
Coleman = Coleman
Pitlick = Goodrow
And I think they are hoping Backlund can bring what Gourde brought for Tampa.
When you have a true elite shutdown line it really opens up your other two top nine lines for more offensive minutes.
