One of the best parts about this deal is that Lindholm can play both C and RW. If one of Monahan or Backlund went down for 10 games, having Jankowski as your 2C probably wouldn't win you very many games. At least if one of Monahan/Backlund are injured for a few games, we have a stopgap in Lindholm for the time being until the injury is recovered.
