And given Backlund's injury and maybe as he ages next year, its not the worst idea to have him in that role?

Agreed. Don’t shorten the bench as much in the 3rd period.
I also want to see what Klapka can do in a role with skilled players.
Huberdeau-Kadri-Farabee
Posposil-Frost-Sharangovich
Klapka-Zary-Coronato
Lomberg/Stromgren-Backlund-Coleman.
Zary and Coronato get to start building chemistry and hopefully turn into the top line as early as this year or more likely next year.
