I also think in an ideal world at least one winger would have been moved this offseason to prepare for that.
But I'm not sure that's happening. So with that in mind I think the only other option is to try to roll a more even 4 lines even though it means some of the older veteran guys are going to have to play less.

If Backlund is your shut down center you're going to have to beg and plead the other coach to not play their best more than 12 minutes at five on five.
Tongue in cheek sorry.
It just doesn't work.
You need Kadri at 14 and likely Backlund at 14. That takes up 28 leaving about 20 for the third and fourth line centers.
That likes goes 12 and 8
