I honestly don't get why Peters refuses to try Lindholm as 2C, at least on the road. It's really an indication of how much Bennett's stalled development has negatively effected this team. We are a top 6 forward short, and a 4th OA pick should really be able to develop into at least a 2nd line forward. Theoretically he should be a fit on the top line as he can forecheck/battle well (like Ferland did) and has experience at faceoffs to spell off Monahan if he's waived out (like Lindholm does); he just unfortunately hasn't done enough to warrant an extended look in the eyes of two separate coaching staffs.
