My only criticism is that Ryan and Backlund are very similar and don't offer a lot -- their biggest strength will be zone entries (which are important but only get you so far). For all the talk about playing Lindholm at centre, I think he would be an intriguing option for PP2 (the only problem is that is screws up your line combos for your next 2-4 shifts).

There are probably better options than Backlund on the PP2. Mangiapane is a better offensive player.
Also, you have 3 offensively inclined defencemen, other than Gio. Why not put Kylington, Hanifin and Anderson on PP2 in a bit of an umbrella formation with Hanifin at the middle point for defensive purposes and Anderson and Kylington flanking on both sides for one timers. Lucic at the front of the net and one of Bennett, Czarnik or Managiapane "quarterbacking" and moving around.
