I think my centers would be Kadri, Frost, Kerins, and Backlund to start the year. Kerins gets time on PP 2 as well. I just think he has a knack for offense and we need that in a lineup without a true top line.
Controversial? Maybe, but it's time to let some of these young guys start to takeover the team.

Backlund is 3rd line center for at least 1 if not 2 more years.
Kerins can't play 4th line, he is not a energy type of a guy, nor is he great at face offs (i.e. same thing with Zary)
I would think that line is "Lomberg, Kirkland and Klapka"
