So far Lewis has been a good checker and Tofolli is scoring goals so I don't see the same problems others seem to see.

I mean, I get what you're saying, and I mostly agree.
However, if Lewis is impairing the offensive production from Backlund and Coleman, that's a negative, regardless of his defensive play.
I have no problem with Toffoli at all. However, I think there is valid concern about Lewis and the 3rd line's production. I wonder if Ritchie wouldn't be a better candidate there.
