I don’t think Backlund and Coleman’s minutes will take too much of a hit because they will still both be relied on heavily for the penalty kill and potentially parts of the powerplays. Unlike the previous 4th line, they will not be sat for the 3rd period. Minutes will spread more evenly across the line up. I’m fine with any of those lines facing the top lines of other teams - even the Klapka-Zary-Coronato line as they have all shown a decent to strong defensive game. The lines I’m hoping for makes it so there isn’t really a weak line any more and there is potential for a brand new line (Klapka-Zary-Coronato) to really pop and become a scoring threat.
Keeping Coronato with Backlund and Coleman and keeping the 4th line as the weaker line that often gets exposed seems like a lot of the same we’ve seen lately.

To me it's about 5 on 5 minutes.
If Backlund is playing shot down he's getting 14.
That leaves you 33 for Kadri, Zary and Frost ... 11 each?
