Yes, definitely in the move Lindholm to C camp if Monahan is dealt. I'd rather deal Gaudreau vs Monahan, but Laine is a talent that I would deal Monahan for.
Forsberg and Gaudreau's contracts are similar and expire at the same time. Just feel like Forsberg is more of what we could use. I don't think Winnipeg does that first deal anyway without another add from our end. They would look at it though as they desperately need a 2nd C behind Scheifele.
I want to keep Bennett as the 3C for the whole season next year to give him a fair chance to show everyone if he can produce.
Backlund is obviously a staple at C. Since we can't move him down with Bennett there, he has to be the 2C.
