If they don't bring anyone else in up front, I think it makes the most sense to play Jankowski and Bennett with Tkachuk.

If that clicks and they all play to their potential, that should be a hell of a second line. That line really should click. All the pieces for a successful scoring line are there.

Backlund and Frolik might not score as much, but put Brouwer with them, and that should be a very good shutdown line.

Backlund with a high end offensive winger is a 50 point two way centremen. Without, he's still a 40 point two way guy.

And if Tkachuk can turn Jankowski and Bennett into 50 point guys, the Flames have something.
