Backlund could be moved, in which case Lindholm would move to Centre on the second line. Stone is 3 years younger and keeps us in contention for longer than Backlund.
In that case he would only be a second line winger for the playoff run. Next year top line.

Backlund has a NMC and very unlikely to waive. He seems very happy in Calgary.
Edit: Full NTC through 20-21 and modified NTC 10 teams onward
