I agree playoffs isn't the goal this season but if you play Kerins as the 4C, you neuter his offensive game to a large degree and he's not really a great defensive centre.
Kadri is the 1C, Frost 2C. The only way you put Kerins in a position to really succeed at NHL level is by demoting Backlund. And that seems far-fetched.
