Would tweak the lines a bit - 8-17-73 has been fantastic, one of the best lines in the league, so I think we leave them together. Backstrom probably not ready for first line minutes right away anyway, so put him with Oshie and Mantha and make a responsible and defensively capable 2nd/3rd line and leave Kuzy with Milano and Wilson, which I think would work pretty well. Love the 4th line as is. Also think Gustafsson and Carlson have been great recently after some early rough patches, and they don't need to get the tough defensive usage when you have 9-3 and 42-57 as really good shutdown pairs.
