Always nice when you can get a middle 6 veteran who plays his ass off every night. The last guy I really liked here (aside from his last season when he was very meh) was Frolik. Backlund paired with a veteran winger and a rookie skater (not right now with Huberdeau) for whatever reason has always been a good combination to assemble. And I really like Coleman and Backlund together. You can always rely on them to play a good two-way game.
So far this is Coleman's best season too and arguably the best forward right now with his consistent effort.
