If we trade Monahan for a top 6 winger, we move lindholm to C and run with him and Backlund as our top 2. I don’t think it sets the team back provided we get a top 6 winger in return.

Lindholm at 1C is a ~40 point player. He has even said he enjoys playing wing more now.
VGK may have proven that a top end 1C isnt needed, but they did prove that you need two Cs capable of over 50 points and at least one has to be very good defensively. That is exactly what we currently have with Backlund and Monahan.
