Specifically so we can deploy it against teams with two-way first lines, on the road especially. If they want to defend Gaudreau with their top option, they'll in turn be facing a Selke candidate/possession monster in Backlund. Might even look for a way to replace Frolik with Ryan on the second line to shore up the transition game.

The Flames were highest scoring team in the WC last year, and will return with their same forward group intact. I don't really see the need to reconstruct the top six given how good they were last year.
