Hmmm, disagree. Lazar produced at every level of hockey up until his Mono season. then he fell off a cliff.
Lindstrom hasn't really done a lot in europe.
Im not saying Lindstrom sucks. But as a 19/20 year old this season he should be doing better than he is. It really appears he needs more development time Flames won't likely be putting him ahead of Shore on the old depth chart come training camp. Also, RHS seems to be of great value to Calgary. Having a good 4th line RHS who can take defensive zone faceoffs is a nice toy to have, and the PK as well. Which Shore is proficient at.
honestly, I truly believe Shore is locked in at 4th C next year. the fact they got him for pretty much free means nothing.
EDIT: and to further this, How does Lindstrom make the team over the likes of Dube or Ruzika? He doesn't.. Dube would be a 4th line masterpiece.
So on the center ice depth chart i'd go
1.Monahan
2a Backlund
2b Janko
4, Shore, Lazar, Bennett
Developing:
5. Dube
6. Ruzicka
7. Linstrom.
