IMO the ideal for this team is keeping Backlund's line intact, call them line 3, and run with Dube - New Centre - Toffoli as your second scoring line.
What we've run into in the past when checking the Backlund line against other team's top line is you neutralize them as a scoring threat, and depth has been too thin to get scoring elsewhere come playoff time.

Maybe Dallas implodes.
Monahan out, Pavelski in.
I would anoint Flames contenders and it wouldn't be a stretch.
That team would have no weaknesses, aside from Lindholm being a great 1C but not ELITE.
