FWIW Lindholm is very good at faceoffs. I know people slot him in a RW with his shot, but he's pretty versatile. Could he centre a line with Tkachuk? Then Bennett can play with Backlund, where he had his best year. Or on the top line in the Ferland role.
To do this the Flames still need another winger, but there are some available. Or maybe Jankowski plays a wing role as well, with Backlund, and then you have a bottom line of Lazar, Shore and Foo/Brouwer/someone else.
