I don't really like Toffoli on Backlunds line either so I'd put him on line 3 with some combination of Dube/Pelletier/Ruzicka/Monahan.
Speaking of Backlund... just give him the "C" already.

My optimistic guess is Pelletier makes the team out of camp, and by Christmas has established himself in a top-6 role.
I would also guess that Matthew Phillips is never going to have a better chance to make the NHL than he will this TC.
I’m down for Backs having the C. He’s earned it.
