Now if you don't cherry pick that discussion to point out where I put Backlund as a 4th line C my preference is Backlund as 3rd line C and Zary on the wing.
I think they have to make a Frost vs Zary call this season, or use them both at center.

If they both perform you make a Kadri decision.

And Backlund will eventually lose his mojo and become over his skis as the shutdown guy. It could happen at any time.

But it didn't happen last year.
