The top line has needed a shake up since the Nylander and Matthews contract details were announced. When Lindholm isn't firing then the whole line is garbage. Teams have now figured Mononymous out. He is just a sniper and if you tie him up in the slot he is otherwise ineffective. Skates like he's wearing lead boots, no physicality or defensive brain and without the puck he is three parts useless. Johnny is trying too hard to compensate for him.
Johnny - Lindholm - Chucky.
