How much of that was on special teams? I do remember him potting some points but it didn't really feel like he was driving the bus for his line during that period.

I should state my bias. I believe Lindholm should be moved to center and that Monahan should be moved to the wing because I believe those positions suit each players' strengths best. Lindholm is a two-way, playmaking player who helps to drive play. Monahan is an amazing goal scorer.

I don't see either guy as a strong centre. Lindholm isn't much of a play driver and IMO was feeding heavily off Mangiapane and Tkachuk (and when replaced by Backlund, that line really took off). Monahan is what he is, no need to review that after all these years of hoping he takes a step forward.
