Well if you assume they average 14 minutes 5 on 5 a game, they got a little less than 12 games worth of ice time. As a comparable Mangiapane Backlund Coleman (assuming they average 14 minutes of 5 on 5 time) got a little over 28 games to gel.
Huberdeau Lindholm and Toffoli had the lowest expected GA of any Flames line in their limited time, and had a 58.7% X GF. I would have tried them for more than 12 games myself, just based on those stats.
