EDIT: And I cannot imagine a more balanced line up honestly.
Mang-Kadri-Dube
Coleman-Backs-Coronato
Not only does that Shelter Coronato a fair bit it gives him strong line mates to learn the ropes over a season.

Playing Coronato with Backlund isn't sheltering. They play, by far, the toughest competition and hardest zone starts on the team.
That line would be a meat grinder for a rookie.
