If you are changing the top line, yeah, Lindholm and Backlund are way more similar in style and toolset. I just hate messing with the top line the way its going.

I'd also consider Ryan if the idea is to have a checking centre and not worry too much about production. If he's playing McDavid, Ryan can keep up fairly well and win a lot of faceoffs.
