Either Barkov falls to the Flames of the Flames take Monahan.
Either way if Lindholm is gone before the Flames pick then Feaster is not going to be blamed for passing on him.
Jones, Mackinnion, Drouin, Barkov, Nurse leaves the Flames picking Monahan and the Oilers having to pass on both Nichushkin and Lindholm (for the same reasons the Flames pass on them... teams in need of grit).
Sabres with Gerbe Ennis and Hodgson as their young small talented guys might pass as well.
Lindholm either gets picked 4-5 or 10-11 not that much of a drop.
With LA and Boston doing well in the Playoffs the NHL will be swing back to an extra premium on big gritty players.

Okay, we get it, you like Monahan but stop throwing Lindholm under the "soft player" bus for crying out loud. It's false. You are obviously either trying to troll or are simply as stubborn as a blind mule in a quicksand pit.
Everything.....I mean EVERYTHING you are saying about Lindholm is to the contrary of what almost every single scout says about him.
Lindholm won't be passed up by any team for his lack of grit. Because it's not the issue. He won't be passed up because of his size because it's not an issue. Crosby is the same size as Lindholm give or take eight pounds and doesn't seem to be an issue with his size. Crosbys issues lately seem to be about how to successfully take a puck in the face.
