Why would you want to move Lindholm when he works so well on the top line?
People don't like Kadri cause he plays on the edge and has stepped over it a couple times, but the guy is a very good player and brings things that the Flames could use badly.

There’s bigger needs to address before worrying about where Lindholm slots in long term but if you’re going to evaluate the C position while discussing Kadri you might as well look at internal options that allows you to do something else.
Does the assets you move for Kadri net you a different forward that might be better suited for the wing that makes the team better overall long term, and in which case you give yourself more roster options. If you have Monahan-Kadri-Backlund-Ryan you’re 100% never playing Lindholm as a dedicated center. You’re not playing any of those 4 on the wing if Lindholm doesn’t continue to perform at the same level on the wing.
