Can 2 shifts really make a huge impact on Wins and Losses? Backlund is a bit better than the average 3rd line C across the league, so it seems reasonable our "3rd line" would take a few seconds from Lindholm's line, especially given Toffoli is a bit worse than the average 1st Line RW, no?

Do the math over 82 games and it becomes pretty significant IMO. Darryl clearly had a level of trust with Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk that he would let them do their thing and right now doesn't have with Huberdeau, Lindholm, Toffoli. To be fair we don't really know what their thing is as they haven't gelled together yet.
