It's awesome. But also, these dudes need to be able to do it more consistently. Or we need more Backlunds and Colemans.

That's fair, but this is a case where Backlund is actually better with Sharangovich too.
Not the same in other cases.
47+11: 48.4% xGF
47 w/o 11 : 52.1% xGF
11 w/o 47: 53.6% xGF
Zary and Backlund actually don't have good chemistry and both tend to be better away from one another.
27+11: 52.0% xGF
27 w/o 11: 47.7% xGF
11 w/o 27: 53.2% xGF
Coronato gets a big lift from Backlund but doesn't lift Backlund that much.
If Coleman gets traded it's Sharangovich that should get that spot IMO.
And we do need more play driving centers. Kadri is good at generating offense but he's not really a strong 200ft center that is strong defensively and can drive play.
