I think you just stay the course with Backlund and Coleman.
The blending has to take a pause. They have something figured out with Kadri, it should stick a while. 10-28 doesn’t work for whatever reason. Maybe there is something to Lindholm being resentful of his team friendly contract. Not sure.
Backs is the only guy I’ve seen carry the puck in past years and resemble Gaudreau a bit. He is underrated and makes everyone he plays with better.
Stability and good line mates will go a long way, I believe
