This week I am more re-affirmed to the Lindholm side of things and even more sold on him being the guy the Flames need more than Barkov..... Yeah, more than Barkov!

I feel crazy for saying this. Why? Lindholm has all the essential tools the Flames need Grit, more speed than the other two projected available centers and Right handed. Why is that so important? Ability to play right wing if the Flames ever get over loaded at center. Another dimension in offense when loading up lines late in the game. The multi-purpose dimension to Lindholm makes me want the Flames to take him more than Monahan. Having a right handed face off guy also helps when trying to make set plays on one side of the ice or the other.

I feel though this has to be said at the end of every post in this thread when talking about these two, I won't be upset at all if they take Monahan though. And I have been on the Barkov bandwagon longer than I can remember. Next week will probably be different so who knows!
