Massive mystery? What was he supposed to do? It is not like there are better options at his disposal.
Jankowski to the top line? He barely deserved to play 5 on 5. Backlund was needed for the tough matchups. Ryan was just getting into a groove with his line mates and eventually would have been eaten alive playing 18min a night with Gaudreau. Lindholm was the only viable option imo but he was pretty bad after the break as well. If Lindholm was the choice who was the right wing on the top line? Flames struggled to get a legit second line RW after Lindholm as Frolik got the spot by default.
