I didn’t say Monahan wasn’t a number one center. He is he’s just in the lower half of the list. Top tier != line 1. Good player no doubt but if you compare him to any other 1C more often not he’ll rank lower than them. That line since the all star break of 2019 has gotten constantly hemmed in their zone. I think returning to a Peters style freewheeling system would help them but I don’t see how they’ll thrive in Wards system.
You’re likely right on Lindholm as he’s our most complete forward. I’d like to see if he has another gear but I just have concerns on his play making. As a shooter and defender he’s good though.
