Zohorna may be the ticket, with Rooney centering line 4. But I think we have to be somewhat worried about potentially muting some of the offense that Backlund and Coleman can bring.

Production from the 7 - 9 forwards last year:
TBL: 40, 39, 27
COL: 33, 33, 24
Backlund 39, Coleman 33. If Rooney gets into the mid-twenties playing with them (seems reasonable), their 3rd line production would be identical to TBL and better than COL
