The Backlund line is a matchup line. A scoring RW would need to be as defensively solid and mobile as Coleman/Backlund/Mangiapane to displace Coleman IMO. It's unlikely to find such a complete forward like that. Pavelski, maybe.
More likely a scoring RW needs to be someone who can play on a line with Dube and Monahan and actually make them a 2B line.
