Langkow- 50-60 point player, really good-great 2way. Makes Backlund look like a clear step back. Too bad about that neck injury.
Conroy- 40-50 point player, good-great two way, a little dated but put up a good year. Conroy Moss Glencross was a much better 3rd line than what we trot out there now, a line that has Derek Ryan on it.
Boyd-who cares, the top 3 is solid enough. Boyd was a tweener but lets not act like was any worse than a guy like Jankowski. Maybe a little worse but not enough to impact winning significantly imo
Monahan is better than Johnny defensively but he's not good imo. Below average when you compare to the average 1C. Compare him to an O'Reilly and it is laughable. To think we could've had O'Reilly. O'Reilly/Monahan is cup worthy.
Maybe you are right about Lindholm. He may be this team's top C. But he is NOT a 1C. Monahan/Lindholm or Lindholm/Monahan will win you nothing imo.

Jokinen/Langkow/Conroy won us nothing. I'm not sure the point of saying Monahan/Lindholm will win you nothing. That's irrelevant.
