Were you watching him last year? Peters has a long history with Lindholm.
Why is he a good fit on the top line? Finishing, playmaking, puck protection, grit along the boards and in front of the net, hockey sense, can take right side face offs, is a right shot, good defensive play.
Why wouldn’t he be a good fit?
Czarnik is too small to play opposite Gaudreau, that line would never win a board battle.
Dube too inexperienced to play there yet and I’m not sure he’s ever played RW.
There’s 3 realistic options for that spot. It’s either Lindholm, Neal or Tkachuk. I don’t think anyone else makes sense.
