With Johnston and Hintz they don't need to pay the premium for Kadri to be 3C.
It's actually a place where if they ever decided to move Backlund where he'd be a good fit. Or somebody more like Schenn who probably costs less and can also shift to wing easier if needed.
It won't happen but I wonder what a team would pay for a combo of Backlund and Coleman. Just parachute in one of the best defensive 3rd lines in the whole NHL.
