I don't think Kevin Rooney is your ideal third-line forward by any means but he's a way better skater in person than I anticipated and I could see him providing tangible upside if that line clicks.

Wouldn't that be something.
Yup, if Rooney ends up on Backlund's line, I won't mind it at all. Good size and a smart player.

But I think the lineup might fit better with him centering the 4th line and Zohorna on the 3rd line wing.

Either way, Backlund and Coleman will make either one look like a good player
