With the added depth on the top 6, Jankowski and Bennett will flourish with whoever gets plugged in alongside. With ‘sheltered’ 3rd line minutes I think the tandem will push Backlund to be elite as he can be/is. It’s Backlund I’m most happy for this off-season, he either gets a young/dynamic 2 way responsible fellow Swede, or the Real Deal, either way I think him & Tkachuk will do well.
