Regardless what your opinion about moving Lindholm to center is, I think we can agree one of the biggest issues with the Flames is the top-end of their center-ice depth. The Flames have difficult matching up against really good centers on other teams, particularly in the playoffs. Something needs to change, and I think it would be worthwhile to move Lindholm to center for a long period of time to see if that improves the team's upside. We've already seen the upside of the team with Monahan - Backlund - Bennett - Ryan. Maybe let's see what the upside is with a different centre-ice depth chart? If the Flames cannot make a trade to change things up, maybe we can change things up by utilizing players differently.
