Uh
Backlund is not substandard. It's no coincidence that Bouma, Colborne, Bennett, and Tkachuk have all thrived on his wing in the past.
Frolik may not be the best third wheel, but very few lines have three great players, and finding the right fit is not easy; look how many years it took to find Lindholm for Gaudreau and Monahan and even then that line stopped clicking down the stretch.
